AIPMT PRELIMS 2010 Chemistry Solubility Product MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

If pH of a saturated solution of Ba(OH)₂ is 12, the value of its Kₛₚ is

A

5.00 × 10⁻⁷ M³

B

00 × 10⁻⁶ M³

C

00 × 10⁻⁷ M³

D

5.00 × 10⁻⁶ M³

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

pH = 12, so pOH = 2, [OH⁻] = 10⁻². Ba(OH)₂ ⇌ Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻, S = 5 × 10⁻³ M, Kₛₚ = [Ba²⁺][OH⁻]² = 5 × 10⁻⁷ M³.
