The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

An aqueous solution at 25°C has a
OH^- concentration of
1.9* 10^(-8)M . Calculate the
H_3O^+ concentration. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: The hydronium ion concentration of the solution is
5.25* 10^(-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:


pOH=-\log[OH^-]

We are given:


[OH^-]=1.9* 10^(-8)M

Putting values in above equation, we get:


pOH=-\log(1.9* 10^(-8))


pOH=7.72

To calculate the hydronium ion concentration, we first calculate pH of the solution, which is:

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 7.72 = 14

pH = 14 - 7.72 = 6.28

To calculate the hydronium ion concentration of the solution, we use the equation:


pH=-\log[H_3O^+]

We are given:

pH = 6.28

Putting values in above equation, we get:


6.28=-\log[H_3O^+]


[H_3O^+]=5.25* 10^(-7)

Hence, the hydronium ion concentration of the solution is
5.25* 10^(-7)
