If the concentration of hydroxide ion in water is 1 × 10^-4 M, the concentration of hydronium ion is ______ and there is more _____ in the solution. A) 1 × 10^-10 M; hydronium B) 1 × 10^-10 M; hydroxide C) 1 × 10⁴ M; hydronium D) 1 × 10⁴ M; hydroxide

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The product of the concentrations of hydroxide and hydronium ions in water is always 1 × 10^-14 M^2. Given [OH^-] = 1 × 10^-4 M, [H3O^+] = 1 × 10^-10 M. Since [OH^-] is greater than [H3O^+], there is more hydroxide in the solution.
