In most solutions, the H3O+ and OH-
concentrations are not always equal.
Thus, if the H3O+ concentration
increased by the addition of an acid,
then the OH- concentration must
decrease to maintain the value of Kw.
This also applies vice versa.

Determine the concentrations of the hydronium ion
and the hydroxide ion in pure water at 25°C.

A 0.0850 M solution of HC2H3O2 is 5.0% ionized into H+
ions and C2H3O2− ions at 25°C. Determine the [H+] and
[OH−] for this solution.

A 0.0788 M solution of HC2H3O2 is 3.0 %
ionized into H+ ions and C2H3O2− ions at
25°C. Determine the [H+] and [OH−] for
this solution.

Write true if the statement is correct. Otherwise,
write false.
1. Water molecules can also react to another water
molecule.
2. As the H3O+ concentration increases by the addition of
an acid, the OH- concentration also increases.
3. The concentration of hydroxide ions can be determined
given only the concentration of hydronium ion in a
reaction. 22
Fill in the table with the correct value.
