What is the pH of 0.001M NaOH solution?

Correct answer: C. 11

  • A. 3
  • B. 7
  • C. 11
  • D. 10

Explanation

To calculate the pH of a 0.001M NaOH solution, first determine its pOH. Since NaOH is a strong base and dissociates completely, the concentration of OH⁻ ions is 0.001M. The pOH is calculated as -log(0.001) = 3. Since pH + pOH = 14 for aqueous solutions, the pH is 14 - 3 = 11. Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: 11. Option A: 3 suggests an acidic solution, Option B: 7 indicates neutrality, and Option D: 10 underestimates the basicity of the solution.
