Ionic product of water at 310 K is 2.7 x 10-14. What is the pH of neutral water at this temperature?
Ionic product,
Kw = [H+] [ OH-]
Let [H+] = x.
Since [H+] = [ OH-] , Kw = x2
⇒ Kw at 310K is 2.7x 10-14
∴ 2.7x 10-14 = x2
⇒ x = 1.64 x 10-7
⇒ [H+] = 1.64 x 10-7
⇒ pH = -log [H+]
= -log (1.64 x 10-7)
= 6.78
Hence, the pH of neutral water is 6.78.
