Solution

The correct option is B 7.21
Here very dilute solution of Ca(OH)2 is given, where water dissociation needs to be considered to calculate the total [OH] ions present in the solution.
[OH] from Ca(OH)2=2×5×108 M=107 M.

H2O (l)H+ (aq)+OH (aq)

From H2O ,
[OH]=[H+] = x
We know,
[H+][OH]=1014x(107+x)=1014x2+107x1014=0x=107±1014+4×10142x=6.18×108

So, [H+]=6.18×108 MpH=log[H+]pH=log(6.18×108)=(80.79)pH=7.21
