Answer

This baking soda solution has: $[H_3O^+] = 1.0 \times 10^{- 8}M$

Work Step by Step

1. Write the $K_w$ expression for the water equilibrium. Then substitute the value for $[OH^-]$, and solve for $[H_3O^+]$: $[OH^-] * [H_3O^+] = Kw = 10^{-14}$ $ 1.0 \times 10^{- 6} * [H_3O^+] = 10^{-14}$ $[H_3O^+] = \frac{10^{-14}}{ 1.0 \times 10^{- 6}}$ $[H_3O^+] = 1.0 \times 10^{- 8}M$
