A solution of an acid has `pH= 4.70`. Find out the concentration of `OH^(-)` ions `(pK_(w)=14)`.A. `5 xx 10^(-10)`B. `4 xx 10^(-10)`C. `2 xx 10^(-5)`D. `9 xx 10^(-4)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A `pH=4.70 implies -log [H^(+)]=4.70` `:. log[H^(+)]=-4.7 =bar(5).30` or `[H^(+)]=1.999xx10^(-5)~~2 xx 10^(-5)` `pK_(w)=14 implies [H^(+)]xx[OH^(-)]=10^(-14)` `:. [OH^(-)]=(10^(-14))/(2 xx 10^(-5))=0.5 xx 10^(-9) = 5 xx 10^(-10)` |
