MCQ
The $pH$ of an aqueous solution having hydroxide ion concentration as $1 \times {10^{ - 5}}$ is
  • A
    $5$
  • $9$
  • C
    $4.5$
  • D
    $11$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$9$
(b) $[O{H^ - }] = 1 \times {10^{ - 5}}$

$pOH = - \log [O{H^ - }] = 5$

$pH + pOH = 14 \Rightarrow pH = 14 - 5 = 9$.
