Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the solution having $\left[{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right]{=10}^{-\text{5}}\text{M}$ and $\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]={10}^{-9}\text{M}$ is acidic, basic, or neutral is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The constant that depends on the equilibrium between the ions and molecules that are not ionized, in a chemical reaction, is known as ionization constant. It tells about the strength of the reactant and product species in a chemical reaction.
