Equimolar solution of the following were prepared in water separately. Which one of the solutions will record the highest `pH`?A. `MgCl_(2)`B. `CaCl_(2)`C. `SrCl_(2)`D. `BaCl_(2)`

Equimolar solution of the following were prepared in water separately.

1.	Equimolar solution of the following were prepared in water separately. Which one of the solutions will record the highest `pH`?A. `MgCl_(2)`B. `CaCl_(2)`C. `SrCl_(2)`D. `BaCl_(2)`
Answer» Correct Answer - D Equimolar solutions of the given chlorides when prepared in water forms their respective hydroxides. `Be(OH)_(2)` is amphoteric, but the hydroxides of other alkaline earth metals are basic. The basic strength increases down the group. Therefore higher the basic character higher will be the pH.
