A 1 mL sample of a 0.10 M weak monobasic base is diluted to a final volume of 100 mL at constant temperature. If the base dissociation constant, Kb, is 1 × 10⁻⁵, what is the pH of the resulting solution?

  1. 8
  2. 9
  3. 10
  4. 11

Correct answer: 10

Solution

After 100x dilution C = 1e-3 M; [OH-] = sqrt(1e-5 * 1e-3) = 1e-4, pOH = 4, pH = 10. The stored pH 9 is wrong.
