Define -ionic product of water?

Answer»

Solution :`H_2O+H_2O LEFTRIGHTARROW H_3O^(+)+ OH^-`
The dissociation constant for the above IONISATION is given as,
`K_w=([H_3O^+][OH^-])/[H_2O]^2`
The concentration of pure water is ONE
i.e., `[H_2O]^2=1`
`therefore K_w=[H_3O^+][OH^-]`
`K_w`= ionic PRODUCT of water
`K_w=1 times 10^-14` at `25^@C`
