What would the concentration of hydroxide anions be in an aqueous solution that has ["H"_3"O"^(+)] = "0.325 M"[H3O+]=0.325 M ? Given: K_w = 10^(-14)Kw=1014 "mol"^2"L"^2mol2L2

3.08xx10^(-14)" ""mol""/""l"3.08×1014 mol/l

Explanation:

At 25^@"C"25C the ionic product of water is given by:

K_w=[H_3O_((aq))^(+)][OH_((aq))^(-)]=10^(-14)" ""mol"^(2)."l"^(-2)Kw=[H3O+(aq)][OH(aq)]=1014 mol2.l2

:.[OH_((aq))^(-)]=K_w/[[H_3O_((aq))^(+)]]

[OH_((aq))^(-)]=10^(-14)/0.325=3.08xx10^(-14)" ""mol""/""l"
