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)zero 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 = 1.0 * 10^-14 at 25°C). In a 5.2 * 10^-4 M HNO₃ solution, the concentration of H⁺ ions is 5.2 * 10^-4 M. Using the formula [H⁺][OH^-] = Kw, we find [OH^-] = Kw / [H⁺] = 1.0 * 10^-14 / 5.2 * 10^-4 = 1.9 * 10^-11 M.
