Answer: The hydroxide concentration of this sample is [tex]3.85\times 10^{-7}[/tex]
Explanation:
When an expression is formed by taking the product of concentration of ions raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients in the solution of a salt is known as ionic product.
The ionic product for water is written as:
[tex]K_w=[H^+]\times [OH^-][/tex]
[tex]7.7\times 10^{-14}=[H^+]\times [OH^-][/tex]
As [tex][H^+]=[OH^-][/tex]
[tex]2[OH^-]=7.7\times 10^{-14}[/tex]
[tex][OH^-]=3.85\times 10^{-7}[/tex]
Thus hydroxide concentration of this sample is [tex]3.85\times 10^{-7}[/tex]
