6-2.Equilibrium-II (Ionic Equilibrium)
medium
What is the $pH$ of a saturated solution of $Cu(OH)_2$ ? $(K_{sp} = 4.0 \times 10^{-6}$ )
A
$6.1$
B
$12.3$
C
$8.42$
D
$11.8$
Solution
$S=\left[\frac{k_{s p}}{4}\right]^{\frac{1}{3}}, \therefore\left\{\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right\}=2 \mathrm{S}=2 \times 10^{-2}$
$\therefore \mathrm{pOH}=-\log 2 \times 10^{-2}=1.7$
$\therefore \mathrm{pH}=14-1.7=12.3$
