A solution has [H3O+] = 6.2×10^−5M . Use the ion product constant of water Kw=[H3O+][OH−] to find the [OH−] of the solution.?

Update:

A solution has [H3O+] = 6.2×10^−5M . Use the ion product constant of water

Kw=[H3O+][OH−]

to find the [OH−] of the solution.

Please show me how to find the answer so I can pleased solve these on my own in the future. Thank you.

    The ion product of water, Kw, is 1x10^-14

    Kw = [H3O+][[OH-]

    [OH-] = 1x10^-14/[H3O+]

    [OH-] = 1x10^-14/6.2x10^-5

    [OH-] = 1.61x10^-10 M <= answer

    Hope the steps help you understand how it's done.

    [OH−] = 1.6*10^-10 M
