  • question_answer
    The pH of a \[{{10}^{-10}}\,M-NaOH\] solution is:

    A)  10                         

    B)         7.01                      

    C)  6.99                      

    D)         4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When the solution is very dilute, the concentration of \[O{{H}^{-}}\] produced from water cannot be neglected. Hence, \[[O{{H}^{-}}]={{10}^{-10}}+{{10}^{-7}}\] (obtained from water) \[={{10}^{-7}}(0.001+1)\] \[=1.001\times {{10}^{-7}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[pOH=-\log \,[O{{H}^{-}}]\] \[=-\log \,(1.001\times {{10}^{-7}})\] \[=7-0.01=6.99\] \[\therefore \]  \[pH=14-pOH\] \[=14-6.99=7.01\]
