The product of molar concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in a 0.01 M aqueous solution of sodium chloride is known as

Options

A. hydrolysis constant of salt
B. dissociation constant of acid
C. dissociation constant of base
D. ionic product of water

Answer

D

Explanation

Sodium chloride is a salt of strong base NaOH and strong acid HCl . In its aqueous solution , following equilibrium is observed .
`NaCl + H_(2)O hArr Na^(+) + Cl^(-) + H_(2)O`
Hence , no hydrolysis takes place in this case , and the solution remains neutral . Thus , here the product of molar concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide is ionic product of water .
