What will be the pH of `0.05`M barium hydroxide solution ?A. `8`B. `9`C. `7`D. `13` |
Answer» Barium hydroxide is a strong electrolyte, i.e., it dissociates completely: `Ba(OH)_(2)(aq.)rarr Ba^(2+)(aq.)+2OH^(-)(aq.)` According to the equation, `C_(OH^(-))=2C_(Ba(OH)_(2))=(2xx0.05)M` `=0.1M` `=10^(-1)M` `:. C_(OH^(-))= 10^(-pOH)M` We have `pOH = 1` For any aqueous solution at 298 K, we have `pH+pOH=14` `pH=14-pOH` `=14-1` `=13` |
