Which option correctly shows the concentration of H₂O* ions in pure water? (1 point)
O 10 x 10 ¹4 mol/L.
14 mol/L
610 × 107 mol/L.
7 mol/L

Respuesta :

The calculated concentration of H₂O is 1.0 x 10⁻⁷ moles per liter

The chemistry of aqueous solutions is dominated by the equilibrium between neutral water molecules and the ions they form.

                             2 H2O(l) →H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)

                                 [H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M

Adding an acid to water therefore has an effect on the concentration of both the H3O+ and OH- ions. Because it is a source of this ion, adding an acid to water increases the concentration of the H3O+ ion. Adding an acid to water, however, decreases the extent to which water dissociates. It therefore leads to a significant decrease in the concentration of the OH- ion.

As might be expected, the opposite effect is observed when a base is added to water. Because we are adding a base, the OH- ion concentration increases. Once the system returns to equilibrium, the product of the H3O+ and OH- ion concentrations is once again equal to Kw. The only way this can be achieved, of course, is by decreasing the concentration of the H3O+ ion.
