[Single-digit Integer] The ionic product of heavy water, , is 1.0 × 10^-16 at 7°C. The pD value of p — Ionic Equilibrium Chemistry Question
Question
[Single-digit Integer] The ionic product of heavy water, $D_2O$, is 1.0 × 10^-16 at 7°C. The pD value of pure heavy water at 7°C is
Answer: 0008
💡 Solution & Explanation
In pure heavy water: [D+] = [OD-].<br>KD2O = [D+][OD-] = 1.0 × 10^-16 at 7°C.<br>Therefore, [D+]^2 = 1.0 × 10^-16 => [D+] = 1.0 × 10^-8 M.<br>pD = -log[D+] = 8.
