Correct answer: C

  1. Write the dissolution equilibrium

For chromium(III) hydroxide:

Cr(OH)3(s)⇌Cr3+(aq)+3OH−(aq)Cr(OH)_3(s) \rightleftharpoons Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3OH^-(aq)Cr(OH)3​(s)⇌Cr3+(aq)+3OH−(aq)

  1. Let the solubility be sss mol L−1^{-1}−1

Then at saturation:

[Cr3+]=s,[OH−]=3s[Cr^{3+}] = s, \qquad [OH^-] = 3s[Cr3+]=s,[OH−]=3s

  1. Write the solubility product expression

Ksp=[Cr3+][OH−]3K_{sp} = [Cr^{3+}][OH^-]^3Ksp​=[Cr3+][OH−]3

Given:

Ksp=6.0×10−31K_{sp} = 6.0 \times 10^{-31}Ksp​=6.0×10−31

So,

6.0×10−31=s(3s)36.0 \times 10^{-31} = s(3s)^36.0×10−31=s(3s)3

6.0×10−31=27s46.0 \times 10^{-31} = 27s^46.0×10−31=27s4

s4=6.0×10−3127s^4 = \frac{6.0 \times 10^{-31}}{27}s4=276.0×10−31​

  1. Find [OH−][OH^-][OH−] directly

Since [OH−]=3s[OH^-] = 3s[OH−]=3s, let x=[OH−]x = [OH^-]x=[OH−]. Then:

[Cr3+]=x3[Cr^{3+}] = \frac{x}{3}[Cr3+]=3x​

Using KspK_{sp}Ksp​:

Ksp=x3⋅x3=x43K_{sp} = \frac{x}{3} \cdot x^3 = \frac{x^4}{3}Ksp​=3x​⋅x3=3x4​

Hence,

x43=6.0×10−31\frac{x^4}{3} = 6.0 \times 10^{-31}3x4​=6.0×10−31

x4=18×10−31x^4 = 18 \times 10^{-31}x4=18×10−31

Therefore,

[OH−]=(18×10−31)1/4[OH^-] = (18 \times 10^{-31})^{1/4}[OH−]=(18×10−31)1/4

  1. Match with the options

This corresponds to Option C.


Final Answer:

(18×10−31)1/4\boxed{(18 \times 10^{-31})^{1/4}}(18×10−31)1/4​
