    Answer is: concentration of hydroxide ions is 2.38·10⁻¹⁰ M.

    [ H₃O⁺] = 4.2·10⁻⁵ M; equilibrium concentration of hydroxide ions.

    The Kw (the ionic product for water) at 25°C is 1·10 ⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ or 1·10⁻¹⁴ M².

    Kw = [H ₃O⁺] · [OH⁻ ].

    [ OH⁻] = Kw : [H₃O⁺ ].

    [ OH⁻] = 1·10⁻¹⁴ M² : 4.2·10⁻⁵ M.

    [ OH⁻] = 2.38·10⁻¹⁰ M.
