Analytical Chemistry Question 276

Question: Weight of $ Ca{{(OH)}_2} $ needed to prepare 250 ml of solution with pH = 13

[BVP 2004]

Options:

A) 0.925 g

B) 0.0125 g

C) 0.25 g

D) 1 g

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

We know, $ [{H^{+}}]\ ={10^{-pH}}={10^{-13}}; $
$ \therefore \ [O{H^{-}}]=\frac{{10^{-14}}}{{10^{-13}}}={10^{-1}} $ Hence, normality of solution = 0.1 We know, w = $ \frac{NEV}{1000}=\frac{0.1\times 74\times 250}{2\times 1000}=0.925\ gm $
