**Problem Statement:**

At 25°C, what is the hydroxide ion concentration, \([OH^-]\), in an aqueous solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of \([H^+]=1.8 \times 10^{-6}\) M?

\[ [OH^-] = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \text{M} \]

**Explanation:**

To find the hydroxide ion concentration, \([OH^-]\), we can use the water dissociation constant, \(K_w\), which is \(1.0 \times 10^{-14}\) at 25°C. The relationship between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in water is given by the equation:

\[ K_w = [H^+][OH^-] \]

Using the given hydrogen ion concentration:

\[ (1.8 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{M}) \times [OH^-] = 1.0 \times 10^{-14} \]

Solving for \([OH^-]\) will provide the hydroxide ion concentration.
