Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Ba(OH) 2 | _ | Ba 2+ | + | 2OH
At equilibrium | x | 2x
pH = � log[H + ]
12 = � log [H + ]
_ [H + ] = 10 �12
As, [H + ][OH �
] = 10 �14
10 �12 [OH �
] = 10 �14
_ [OH �
] = 10 �2
As [OH �
] = 2x = 10 �2 then x = 5.0 _ 10 �3
Now, K sp = [Ba 2+ ][OH �
] 2
K sp = (5 _ 10 �3 ) (10 �2 ) 2
= 5.0 _ 10 �7
