Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the solution with hydroxide ion concentration of ${10}^{-8}\text{M}$ is acidic or basic is to be stated. The hydrogen ion concentration of the solution is to be calculated.

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.
