Answer : The correct option is, (C) 11

Explanation :

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion or hydronium ion concentration.

Mathematically, it is represented as :


pH=-\log [H^+]

or,


pH=-\log [H_3O^+]

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.


pH=-\log [H_3O^+]

Now put the value of hydronium ion concentration in this expression, we get the value of pH of the solution.


pH=-\log (1.0* 10^(-11))


pH=-\log (1.0)-\log (10^(-11))


pH=-0-(-11)


pH=11

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 11
