Calculate the H + concentration in an aqueous solution that contains 2.50 x 10 -3 M hydroxide ion. 4.00 x 10 -10 4.00 x 10 -11 5.00 x 10 -12 4.00 x 10 -12 Solution Hydroxide ion concentration, [OH - ] = 2.50 x 10 -3 M We know that, [H + ] [OH - ] = 1 x 10 -14 or, [H + ] = (1 x 10 -14 ) / [OH - ] = (1 x 10 -14 ) / (2.50 x 10 -3 ) = 4 x 10 -12 M .
