Question

The pH of an aqueous solution having hydroxide ion concentration as $1 	imes 10^{- 5}$ is

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

(b)
$\left\lbrack OH^{-} ightbrack = 1 	imes 10^{- 5}$
$pOH = - \log{\lbrack OH^{-}brack}$
$= - \log{\lbrack 1 	imes 10^{- 5}brack}$
$pOH$ = 5
$pH + pOH = 14$
$pH = 14 - pOH$
$= 14 - 5$
$pH = 9$
