Q. The pOH of 0.01 M HCl solution is _____.

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 11

(d) 12

›Reveal solution

For 0.01 M HCl, pH = 2, so pOH = 14 − 2 = 12.

HCl is a strong acid and ionizes completely: $HCl \rightarrow H^+ + Cl^-$ , so $[H^+] = 0.01\ M = 10^{-2}\ M$ .

$pH = -\log[H^+] = -\log(10^{-2}) = 2$

$pH=-\log(10^{-3})=3$ for 0.001 M HCl.

HCl is a strong acid, fully ionised: $[H^+] = 0.001\ M = 10^{-3}\ M$ .

$pOH = 14 - pH$ , then $[OH^-]=10^{-pOH}$ .

$pH + pOH = 14 \Rightarrow pOH = 14 - 11.2 = 2.8$
