1. What's the concentration of hydronium ions if a water-base solution has a temperature of 25°C (Kw = 1.0x10-14), with a concentration of hydroxide ions of 2.21x10-6 M? A. 3.1x10-6 M
B. 4.52 X10-9 M
C. 2.8x10-8 M
D. 1.6x10-9 M

B. 4.52 X10-9 M

Explanation:

Our goal for this question is to calculate the concentration of hydronium ions produced by water in a vessel with a concentration of hydroxide ions of . So, our first approach can be the ionization reaction of water:

If we write the Keq expression for this reaction we will have:

Now, water is the universal solvent, so, Keq has a special name. In the equilibrium problems for water we have to use "Kw" instead of "Keq":

From this equation, we know the Kw value () and the concentration of the hydroxide ions ([2.21X10^-^6~M]). If we replace these values into the equation we can solve for :

I hope it helps!

a plasma is a warm ionized gasoline consisting of approximately equal numbers of definitely charged ions and negatively charged electrons. the characteristics of plasmas are notably unique from the ones of ordinary neutral gases in order that plasmas are considered a awesome "fourth kingdom of remember."
