Strategy
To determine the hydrogen ion concentration when you know the hydroxide ion concentration, you simply divide the [OH^-] into 10^{-14}.

Solution
We substitute into the equation:

[H_3O^+] [OH^-]=1.0 \times  10^{-14}

 

[H_3O^+]=\frac{1.0 \times  10^{-14}}{1.0 \times  10^{-4}} =1.0 \times  10^{-10} M

Problem 8.5
The  [OH^-] of an aqueous solution is 1.0 \times  10^{-12} M. What is its [H_3O^+] ?
