QuestionIonic equilibrium / ionic product of water
Consider the following statements regarding the ionic product of water : (where C_H⁺ and C_OH⁻ are the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions of water, respectively and K_W is the ionic product of water)
- The value of K_W at 25°C is 1 × 10⁻¹⁴
- C_H⁺ = C_OH⁻ in pure water
- K_W increases with temperature
- C_H⁺ = \(K_W^{1/2}\) for pure water
Which of the statements given above are correct ?
- (a) 1 and 2 only
- (b) 1 and 3 only
- (c) 2 and 4 only
- (d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
