Question 42

The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is 0.001 M at $$25^\circ\text{C}$$. What will be the hydroxyl ion concentration (in M) of solution at same temperature.


Correct Answer: 0.00000000001

Solution

At $$25^\circ\text{C}$$, $$[\text{H}^+][\text{OH}^-] = K_w = 10^{-14}$$. So $$[\text{OH}^-] = \frac{10^{-14}}{10^{-3}} = 10^{-11}\text{ M}$$, i.e. 0.00000000001 M.
