At 25 °C, what is the hydroxide ion concentration, [OH−] , in an aqueous solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of [H+]=1.7×10−5 M? [OH−]=

Question

At 25 °C, what is the hydroxide ion concentration, [OH−] , in an aqueous solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of [H+]=1.7×10−5 M? [OH−]=

Answer 1

Recall that [H⁺][OH^-] = 1x10^-14

[1.7x10^-5] [OH^-] = 1x10^-14

[OH^-] = 1x10^-14 / 1.7x10^-5

[OH^-] = 5.88x10^-10
