  • question_answer
    A solution of an acid has \[[{{H}^{+}}]=2\times {{10}^{-5}}.\] Find out the concentration of \[\text{O}{{\text{H}}^{-}}\]ions.

    A)  \[5\times {{10}^{-10}}\,\text{N}\]                          

    B)  \[4\times {{10}^{-10}}\,\text{N}\]

    C)  \[2\times {{10}^{-5}}\,\text{N}\]                            

    D)  \[9\times {{10}^{-4}}\,\text{N}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     \[{{[H]}^{+}}[O{{H}^{-}}]={{K}_{w}}\] \[2\times {{10}^{^{-5}}}\times [O{{H}^{-}}]=1\times {{10}^{-14}}\] \[[OH]=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-14}}}{2\times {{10}^{-5}}}\] \[=0.5\times {{10}^{-9}}\] \[=5\times {{10}^{-10}}\]
