Question

A solution prepared by dissolving 2.8 g of lime (CaO) in enough water to make 1.00 L of lime water (Ca(OH)2(aq.)). If solubility of Ca(OH)2 in water is 1.48 gm/lt. The pH of the solution obtained will be:
[log 2 = 0.3, Ca = 40 , O = 16, H = 1]

Options

A.12.3
B.12.6
C.1.3
D.13

Solution

Ca(OH)2  ⇋ Ca2+ + 2OH-
t = 0 = 0.02     0    0
teq       0        0.02    0.04
so,    pOH = 2 - log 4 = 1.4
so    pH = 12.6
