A solution has [oh−] = 2.3×10−2 m . use the ion product constant of water kw=[h3o+][oh−] to find the [h3o+] of the solution.

Respuesta :

Answer is: concentration of hydronium ions is 4.35·10⁻¹³ M.
[OH
⁻] = 2.3·10⁻² M; equilibrium concentration of hydroxide ions.
The Kw (the ionic product for water) at 25°C is 1·10
⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ or 1·10⁻¹⁴ M².
Kw = [H
₃O⁺] · [OH⁻].
[H
₃O⁺] = Kw ÷ [OH⁻].
[H
₃O⁺] = 1·10⁻¹⁴ M² ÷ 2.3·10⁻² M.
[H
₃O⁺] = 4.35·10⁻¹³ M.

Answer:

The concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is [tex]4.35\times 10^{-13} M[/tex].

Explanation:

Concentration of hydroxide ions = [tex][OH^-]=2.3\times 10^{-2}[/tex]

Concentration of hydroxide ions = [tex][H_3O^+]=?[/tex]

[tex]H_2O+H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_3O^++OH^-[/tex]

The ionic product of water is given as:

[tex]K_w=[H_3O^+][OH^-][/tex]

The value of ionic product of water, [tex]K_w=1\times 10^{-14}[/tex]

[tex]K_w=1\times 10^{-14}=[H_3O^+][OH^-][/tex]

[tex]1\times 10^{-14}=[H_3O^+]\times 2.3\times 10^{-2}M[/tex]

[tex][H_3O^+]=\frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{2.3\times 10^{-2}}=4.35\times 10^{-13} M[/tex]

The concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is [tex]4.35\times 10^{-13} M[/tex].
