MCQ
$pH$ of a solution is $ 5$ . Its hydroxyl ion concentration is
  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    ${10^{ - 5}}$
  • ${10^{ - 9}}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${10^{ - 9}}$
(d) $pH = 5\,\,{\rm{means}}\,\,[{H^ + }] = {10^{ - 5}}$

$pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 5 = 9$

$[O{H^ - }] = {10^{ - pOH}} = {10^{ - 9}}$
