Chapter 14, Problem 22E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect on the $\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]$ is to be explained on the increment of $\left[{\text{H}}_3{\text{O}}^{+}\right]$ in an aqueous solution.

Concept introduction:

The ionic product constant of water $\left(K_w\right)$ can be represented as:

$K_w=\left[{\text{H}}_3{\text{O}}^{+}\right]\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]$

The ionic product constant for water $\left(K_w\right)$ equal to $1\times {10}^{14}$.
