The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$\left[H^{+}\right]=0.0005=5 \times 10^{-4}$ $\left[O H^{-}\right]\left[H^{+}\right]=10^{-14}$ $\left[O H^{-}\right] \times 5 \times 10^{-4}=10^{-14}$ $\left[O H^{-}\right]=\frac{10^{-14}}{5 \times 10^{-4}}=2 \times 10^{-11}$ $p O H=-\log \left(2 \times 10^{-11}\right)$ $=10.699$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
