Q. A solution of $pH \,9.0$ is 1000 times as basic as a solution. The $pH$ of this solution is:

Equilibrium

Solution:

$pH =-\log \left[ H ^{+}\right]$

$pH$ of solution $=9,\left[ H ^{+}\right]=10^{-9}$

This solution is 1000 times more basic than solution whose

$\left[ H ^{+}\right]=10^{-9} \times 10^{3} =10^{-6} $

$pH =-\log \left[ H ^{+}\right]$

$=-\log \left[\log ^{-6}\right]=6 $
