Answer

$[D^+] \approx 2.9833 \times 10^{-8}M$ $[OD^-] \approx 2.9833 \times 10^{-8}M$

Work Step by Step

1. Because it is a neutral solution: $[D^+]=[OH^-]$ 2. Multiplying the concentrations of [D+] and [OD-], we obtain Kw. $[D^+]×[OD^−]=Kw$ $[D^+]×[OD^−]=8.9×10^{−16}$ 3. For math purpose, let's call [D+] by [OD-], because they have the same value. $[D^+]×[D^+]=8.9×10^{−16}$ $[D^+]^2=8.9×10^{−16}$ $[D^+]=2.9833 \times 10^{−8} M$ 4. Because $[OD^-] = [D^+]$: $[OD^−]=2.9833\times 10^{−8} M$
