Question

How many moles of NaOH must be removed from one litre of aqueous solution to change its pH from
12 to 11 ?

Options

A.0.009
B.0.01
C.0.02
D.0.1

Solution

Inital                                                 Final
pH = 12                                           pH = 11
[H+] = 10-12 M                                 [H+] = 10-11 M
[OH-] = 10-2 M                                [OH-] = 10-3 M
Inital No. of mole of OH- = 10-2    Final No. of mole of  OH- = 10-3
So no. of mole of OH- removed = [.01 - 0.001] = 0.009
