The pH of 0.001M aqueous solution of NaOH is:

Correct answer: C. 11

  • A. 6
  • B. 13
  • C. 11
  • D. 12

Explanation

To find the pH of a 0.001M NaOH solution, first recognize that NaOH is a strong base and fully dissociates in water. This means the concentration of OH- ions is 0.001M, or 10-3M. The pOH is calculated as -log(10-3) = 3. Since pH + pOH = 14, the pH is 14 - 3 = 11, confirming that the correct answer is 11. Other options are incorrect because they do not properly apply the relationship between pH and pOH or misinterpret the concentration of the solution.
