What is the OH^- ion concentration in a 5.2 * 10^-4 M HNO₃ solution A) 1.9 * 10^-11 M B) 1.0 * 10^-7 M C) 5.2 * 10^-4 M D) 0 E) 1.0 * 10^-4 M

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concentration of OH^- ions in a solution can be found using the ion product of water, Kw = [H⁺][OH^-] = 1.0 * 10^-14 at 25°C. In a 5.2 * 10^-4 M HNO₃ solution, [H⁺] = 5.2 * 10^-4 M. Therefore, [OH^-] = Kw / [H⁺] = 1.0 * 10^-14 / 5.2 * 10^-4 = 1.9 * 10^-11 M.
