Answer:

4.35 * 10^-8 M

Explanation:

Since the concentration of the hydronium ion= 2.3 X 10^-7 M

And we know that;

[H3O^+] [OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14

[H3O^+] = concentration of the hydronium ion

[OH^-] = concentration of the hydroxide ion

So;

[OH^-] =1 * 10^-14/[ H3O^+]

But [H3O^+] = 2.3 X 10^-7 M

[OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14/2.3 X 10^-7

[OH^-] = 4.35 * 10^-8 M

A Herbig-Haro (HH) object is:_:_________.

Given what we know about Herbig-Haro (HH) objects, we can confirm that they are born from the collision between a jet from a star and clouds of interstellar matter.

<h3>What are Herbig-Haro (HH) objects?</h3>

To put it simply, a Herbig-Haro (HH) object is what we observe as a bright spot in distant space. Upon closer observation we can observe that these giant bright patches are not lone objects, but in fact immense groups of interstellar matter.

<h3>How Herbig-Haro (HH) objects are formed.</h3>

The formation of one of these interstellar groups requires an immense amount of energy. This energy come from the speed at which the materials that form these objects collide.
As stated in the question, the jet released from a star in the process of being born smashes into a giant cloud of dust and interstellar material to form the Herbig-Haro (HH) objects.
This collision happens at hundreds of km/s. To put it into perspective, it would be roughly 500,000 miles per hour.

Therefore, we can confirm that option b, which states, "where a jet from a star in the process of being born collides with (and lights up) a nearby cloud of interstellar matter", is the correct choice for the question pertaining to Herbig-Haro (HH) objects.
