The solution was prepared by dissolving 0.0005 mol of Ba (OH)2 in 100 ml of the solution. If the base is assume to ionize completely, the pOH of the solution will be A. 10 B. 12 C. 2 D. unpredictable

Ba (OH)2 is completely dissociated and so
Ba(OH)2---> Ba++ + 2OH-
so 0.005M yields 0.005*2=0.01 moles of OH-
So, pOH =log 1/[OH-] = log 1/10^-2= log 10^2 = 2
pH+pOH= 14
Answer= pH=14-2=12
