What is the pH of a 1.0 x 10-3 M KOH solution?
A. 10
B. 4.0
C. 11
D. 3.0

Option C. 11

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the concentration of the hydroxide ion [OH¯] in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

In solution, KOH will dissociate as follow:

KOH (aq) <=> K⁺(aq) + OH¯(aq)

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of KOH reacted to produce 1 mole of OH¯.

Therefore, 1×10¯³ M KOH will also react to produce 1×10¯³ M OH¯.

Thus, the concentration of hydroxide ion [OH¯] in the solution is 1×10¯³ M

Next, we shall determine the pOH of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Concentration of hydroxide ion [OH¯] = 1×10¯³ M

pOH =?

pOH = –Log [OH¯]

pOH = –Log 1×10¯³

pOH = 3

Finally, we shall determine the pH of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

pOH = 3

pH =?

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 3 = 14

Collect like terms

pH = 14 – 3

pH = 11

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be

pv=nrt
