Answer: The concentration of water is 1 M
Explanation:
We are given:
Moles of ions a solution contains = 2 moles
The chemical equation for the ionization of water follows:
[tex]H_2O\rightarrow H^++OH^-[/tex]
From the above equation:
2 moles of total ions are produced by 1 mole of water
To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}[/tex]
Moles of water = 1 mol
Volume of solution = 1 L
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Molarity of }H_2O=\frac{1mol}{1L}\\\\\text{Molarity of }H_2O=1M[/tex]
Hence, the concentration of water is 1 M
