Select true or false: if the ph of pure water is 7.0, the hydroxide ion concentration in pure water is 1 × 10–7 m.

Respuesta :

Answer:

True

Explanation:

as the ph of pure water is 7

(-)log(10^-7) = 7

The statement if the pH of pure water is 7.0, the hydroxide ion concentration in pure water is 1 × 10⁻⁷M is true.

How do we calculate the hydroxide ion concentration?

Hydroxide ion concentration in the solution will be calculated by using the below equation as:

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

Relation between pH and pOH is :

pH + pOH = 14

Given that, pH = 7

So, pOH = 14 - 7 = 7

By using first equation, we have

7 = -log[OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = 10⁻⁷M

Hence, hydroxide ion concentration in pure water is 1×10⁻⁷M.
