Given an H₃O⁺ concentration of 1.0 × 10^-4 M, calculate the OH^- concentration, and then identify the solution as acidic, basic, or neutral. A)[OH^-] = 1.0 × 10^-7, neutral B)[OH^-] = 1.0 × 10^-4, acidic C)[OH^-] = 1.0 × 10^-10, acidic D)[OH^-] = 1.0 × 10^-10, basic E)[OH^-] = 1.0 × 10^-4, basic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The product of [H₃O⁺] and [OH^-] is 1.0 × 10^-14 (at 25°C). Given [H₃O⁺] = 1.0 × 10^-4 M, [OH^-] = 1.0 × 10^-10 M. Since [H₃O⁺] > [OH^-], the solution is acidic.
