The concentration of H₃O⁺ in a solution is 1 × 10^-4 M.What is the concentration of hydroxide ion in this solution? A) 1 × 10^-10 M B) 1 × 10^-8 M C) 1 × 10^-12 M D) 1 × 10^-7 M E) 1 × 10¹⁰ M

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concentration of hydroxide ion in a solution can be found using the water ion product, Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1 × 10^-14 M^2. Given [H+] = 1 × 10^-4 M, solving for [OH-] gives [OH-] = Kw / [H+] = 1 × 10^-14 M^2 / 1 × 10^-4 M = 1 × 10^-10 M.
