Sodium hydroxide is a strong base. What is the pH in a 0.01 mol/dm3 solution?
a. pH=2
b. pH=12
c. pH=-2
d. pH=0.01 mol/dm3

b. pH=12

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Concentration of NaOH: 0.01 mol/dm³ = 0.01 mol/L = 0.01 M

Step 2: Write the reaction for the dissociation of NaOH

NaOH is a strong base that dissociates according to the following equation.

NaOH(aq) ⇒ Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The molar ratio of NaOH to OH⁻ is 1:1. Then, the concentration of OH⁻ is 0.01 M.

Step 3: Calculate the pOH

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 0.01 = 2

Step 4: Calculate the pH

We will use the following expression.

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 -2 = 12

first one is the correct answer

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
