Help pleasE!

jfraser · Answer

the concentration of the hydronium and hydroxide ions are inversely proportional, because of the ionization of water. They share the relationship:$$[H^{+1}]*[OH^{-1}] = K_W = 1.00*10^{-14}$$so if you know the concentration of one of them, you can easily find the concentration of the other

Wait! JFraser! 
I think the answer to the first question i attached in the link is wrong. Does that affect what you said?
