Answer : The concentration of
H_3O^+ and
OH^- are
7.94* 10^(-5) and
1.258* 10^(-10) respectively.

Solution : Given,

pH = 4.10

pH : pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration.

Formula used :
pH=-log[H_3O^+]

First we have to calculate the hydronium ion concentration by using pH formula.


4.10=-log[H_3O^+]


[H_3O^+]=antilog(-4.10)


[H_3O^+]=7.94* 10^(-5)

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

As we know,
pH+pOH=14


4.10+pOH=14


pOH=9.9

Now we have to calculate the hydroxide ion concentration.


pOH=-log[OH^-]


9.9=-log[OH^-]


[OH^-]=antilog(-9.9)


[OH^-]=1.258* 10^(-10)

Therefore, the concentration of
H_3O^+ and
OH^- are
7.94* 10^(-5) and
1.258* 10^(-10) respectively.
