Answer:
2.5 × 10⁻⁵ M H₃O⁺ and 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ M OH⁻.
Explanation:
<em>∵ pH = - log[H₃O⁺]</em>
∴ 4.6 = - log[H₃O⁺].
∴ log[H₃O⁺] = - 4.6.
∴ [H₃O⁺] = 2.51 x 10⁻⁵.
∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.
[H₃O⁺] = 2.51 x 10⁻⁵ M.
∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/(2.51 x 10⁻⁵ M) = 3.98 × 10⁻¹⁰ M ≅ 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ M.
<em>So, the right choice is: 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ M H₃O⁺ and 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ M OH⁻.</em>
Explanation:
Reversible reactions that happen in a closed system eventually reach equilibrium. At equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products do not change. But the forward and reverse reactions have not stopped - they are still going on, and at the same rate as each other.
