Chapter 16, Problem 16.19QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: From the given concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ ion in aqueous solution at $\text{25 }°\text{C}$, the concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Autoionization of water is the reaction in which the water undergoes ionization to give a proton and a hydroxide ion.  Water is a very weak electrolyte and hence it does not completely dissociate into the ions.  The ionization happens to a very less extent only.  The ionization of water is an equilibrium reaction and hence this has equilibrium rate constant.

$K_w=[{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}][{\text{OH}}^{-}]=1.0\times {10}^{-14}$

To calculate the concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$

Answer to Problem 16.19QP

Answer

The concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ in (a) is $4.0\times {10}^{-13}M$

Explanation of Solution

Given

Concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ = $2.50\times {10}^{-2}M$

Formula

$\begin{array}{l}{K}_w=[{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}][{\text{OH}}^{-}]=1.0\times {10}^{-14}\\ [{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}]=\frac{1.0\times {10}^{-14}}{[{\text{OH}}^{-}]}\end{array}$

Where,

${\text{[OH}}^{\text{-}}\text{]}$ is concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$

${\text{[H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}$ is concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$

Substitute the given concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ in the above formula,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text{[H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}=\frac{1.0\times {10}^{-14}}{2.50\times {10}^{-2}}\\ =4.0\times {10}^{-13}M\end{array}$

Thus the concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ is $4.0\times {10}^{-13}M$

Answer to Problem 16.19QP

Answer

The concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ in (b) is $6.0\times {10}^{-10}M$

Explanation of Solution

Given

Concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ = $1.67\times {10}^{-5}M$

Formula

$\begin{array}{l}{K}_w=[{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}][{\text{OH}}^{-}]=1.0\times {10}^{-14}\\ [{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}]=\frac{1.0\times {10}^{-14}}{[{\text{OH}}^{-}]}\end{array}$

Where,

${\text{[OH}}^{\text{-}}\text{]}$ is concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$

${\text{[H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}$ is concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$

Substitute the given concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ in the above formula,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text{[H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}=\frac{1.0\times {10}^{-14}}{1.67\times {10}^{-5}}\\ =6.0\times {10}^{-10}M\end{array}$

Thus the concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ is $6.0\times {10}^{-10}M$

Answer to Problem 16.19QP

Answer

The concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ in (c) is $1.2\times {10}^{-12}M$

Explanation of Solution

Given

Concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ = $8.62\times {10}^{-3}M$

Formula

$\begin{array}{l}{K}_w=[{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}][{\text{OH}}^{-}]=1.0\times {10}^{-14}\\ [{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{+}]=\frac{1.0\times {10}^{-14}}{[{\text{OH}}^{-}]}\end{array}$
