Problem: A solution in which [OH?] is 100 times greater than [H+]. Express your answer using two significant figures.

FREE Expert Solution

 The relationship between [H+] and [OH-] is connected by the following equation:


Kw=H+OH-

Kw = autoionization constant of water

Kw = 1.0x10-14 at T = 25°C
