Determine the oh of a solution that is 0.220 m in hco3

Answer : The hydroxide ion concentration of a solution is,

Explanation :

As we know that dissociates in water to give hydrogen ion and carbonate ion .

As, 1 mole of dissociates to give 1 mole of hydrogen ion

Or, 1 M of dissociates to give 1 M of hydrogen ion

So, 0.200 M of dissociates to give 0.200 M of hydrogen ion

Now we have to calculate the hydroxide ion concentration.

As we know that:

Therefore, the hydroxide ion concentration of a solution is,

the answer is 0.8m.
