  1. A 2.7
  2. B 10.3
  3. C 12.3
  4. D 11.3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2.7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1 \mathrm{mM}=10^{-3} \mathrm{M} \)
\( \mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-} \)
\( 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} \)
\( \therefore 2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{pOH}=-\) \(\log _{10}\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]=-\log _{10}\left(2 \times 10^{-3}\right)=2.7\)
