What is the pH of 0.001 mol dm-3 solution of sodium hydroxide

A.

14

B.

13

C.

12

D.

11

Correct answer is D

\([H^+] [OH^-] = 10^{-14}\)
\([H^+] = 10^{-14}/[OH^-] = 10^{-14}/(1 * 10^{-3}) = 10^{-11}\)
pH = -Log10[H+]
= - Log10[10-11] = - 1 * -11 Log10[10-11] = 1 = -1 * -11 * 1 = 11

117.0g of sodium chloride was dissolved in 1.0dm3 of distilled water at 25°C. Determine the solubility in mol dm-3 of sodium chloride at that temperature
[Na = 23, Cl = 35.5]

A.

1.0

B.

2.0

C.

3.0

D.

4.0

Correct answer is B

Relative molecular mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
No. of mole of NaCl = 117/58.5 = 2.0 mol
