Homework Chapter 16.1

2. Determine the hydronium and hydroxide ion concentrations in a solution that is 1.0 x 10^-3 M HNO₃.

Given:

HNO3
concentration = 1.0 x 10^-3M

Since nitric acid is a monoprotic acid, the concentation of the acid is the concentration of the hydronium ion. Thus
[H3O⁺¹]=1.0x10^-3M.
