    A solution of an acid has \[[{{H}^{+}}]=2\times {{10}^{-5}}.\] Find out the concentration of \[O{{H}^{-}}\]ions.

    A)  \[5\times {{10}^{-10}}N\]                           

    B)  \[4\times {{10}^{-10}}N\]

    C)  \[2\times {{10}^{-5}}N\]                             

    D)  \[9\times {{10}^{-4}}N\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[[{{H}^{+}}]\,[O{{H}^{-}}]={{K}_{w}}\] \[2\times {{10}^{-5}}\times [O{{H}^{-}}]=1\times {{10}^{-14}}\] \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-14}}}{2\times {{10}^{-5}}}\] \[=0.5\times {{10}^{-9}}\] \[=5\times {{10}^{-10}}\]
