Solution

The correct option is B 10
$C a (O H)_{2} ⇌ C a^{2 +} + 2 O H^{-} 1 C a (O H)_{2} i o n g i v e s 2 O H^{-} i o n s ∴ O H^{-} i o n s c o n c e n t r a t i o n = 2 \times (5 \times 10^{- 5}) [O H^{-}] = 10 \times 10^{- 5} p O H = - l o g_{10} (10 \times 10^{- 5}) p O H = - (1 - 5) = 4 p H = 14 - 4 = 10$
hence, the pH for $5 \times 10^{- 5} M C a (O H)_{2}$ is 10.

Calculate the pH for 5×10−5 M Ca(OH)2

The correct option is B 10Ca(OH)2⇌Ca2++2OH−1 Ca(OH)2 ion gives 2 OH− ions∴ OH− ions concentration=2×(5×10−5)[OH−]=10×10−5pOH=−log10(10×10−5)pOH=−(1−5)=4pH=14−4=10 hence, the pH for 5×10−5 M Ca(OH)2 is 10.
