Question

The product of $H^{+}$ ions and $O{H}^{-}$ ions in a strong alkali

• A. ${10}^{-1}$
• B. 0
• C. ${10}^{-14}$
• D. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is C ${10}^{-14}$

$\bullet$ In pure water at ${25}^{\circ }C,$ the concentration of $\left[H^{+}\right]$ and the concentration of $\left[O{H}^{-}\right]$ each are only $1.0\times {10}^{-7}M.$
$\bullet$ In most cases $\left[H^{+}\right]\text{and}[OH{]}^{-}$ are interdependent meaning that when $\left[H^{+}\right]\text{increase}[OH{]}^{-}$ decreases and visa versa.
$\bullet$ For aqueous solution, the product of hydrogen ion concentration and hydroxide ion concentration equal to $1.0\times {10}^{-14}.$
$[H{]}^{+}\times [OH{]}^{-}=1.0\times {10}^{-14}$
