Calculate the pH at \(\cfrac{M}{1000}\) sodium hydroxide solution assuming complete ionisation (Kw = 1 x 10-14).

Answer»

NaOH monobasic so that, normality = molarity

\(\therefore\) concentration of NaOH = concentration of \(\bar O\)H

[\(\bar O\)H] = [NaOH] 

\(\cfrac{M}{1000}\) = 0.001 M = 0.001 M

POH = - log[\(\bar O\)H]

= - log 0.001

= - log 10-4

= 4 log 10

POH = 4

We know that 

PH + POH = 14

PH = 14 - POH

= 14 - 4

PH = 10

Hence, PH at \(\cfrac{M}{1000}\) sodium hydroxide solution will be 10
