A base dissolved in water yields a solution with a hydroxide ion concentration of `0.05 mol litre^(-1)`. The solution is

A

Basic

B

Acid

C

Neutral

D

Both (a) and (b)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`[OH^(-)]` ion conc. `0.05 (mol)/(l) = 5 xx 10^(-2) (mol)/(l)`
`pOH = -log [OH^(-)] = -log[ 5xx 10^(-2)]`
`pOH = 1.30, pH + pOH = 14`.
`pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.30 = 12.7`.
