Calculate the pH of \(1×10^{–4}\) molar solution of \(NaOH\).
 
Solution:
 
\(NaOH\) is a  and dissociates in its solution as:
 

One mole of \(NaOH\) would give  of \(OH^–\) ions. Therefore,

\([OH^–]=1×10^{–4}\) \(mol\) \(litre^{–1}\)
 
 
\(=–log_{10}×[10^{–4}]\)
 
Then,

\(=–(–4×log_{10}10)\)

 
Since,


\(pH=14 – pOH\)
