    Hydrogen ion concentration of an aqueous solution is \[1\times {{10}^{-4}}M.\]The solution is diluted with equal volume of water. Hydroxyl ion concentration of the resultant solution in terms of mol \[d{{m}^{-3}}\]is:

    A) \[1\times {{10}^{-8}}\]                  

    B) \[1\times {{10}^{-6}}\]

    C)  \[2\times {{10}^{-10}}\]                              

    D) \[0.5\times {{10}^{-10}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}\]ion concentration \[=1\times {{10}^{-4}}M\] The above solution is diluted with equal volume of water \[\therefore \] \[[{{H}^{+}}]=1\times {{10}^{-4}}/2=0.5\times {{10}^{-4}}\] We know that, at\[25{{\,}^{o}}C\] \[[{{H}^{+}}][O{{H}^{-}}]=1\times {{10}^{-14}}\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-14}}}{0.5\times {{10}^{-4}}}\] \[=2\times {{10}^{-10}}\]
