Detailed Solution

Base BOH is dissociated as follows:

BOHB++OH-

So, the dissociation constant of base BOH

Kb=B+OH-[BOH] (i) 

At equilibrium,

B+=OH- Kb=OH-2[BOH]

Given that

Kb=10-4

and [BOH]=0.01M

Thus,   10-4=OH-20.01

OH-2=1×10-6 

OH-=1.0×10-3 mol L-1

H+OH-=Kw

Where, Kw is an ionization constant of water.

H+=KwOH-

Kw is 10-14

Substitute the values in the above equation.

H+=10-1410-3=10-11

pH will be:

 pH=logH+=log(10-11)=11

Therefore, the correct option is (C).
