Derive the ionic product of water and giveits value at 25^(@)C.

1.	Derive the ionic product of water and giveits value at 25^(@)C.
Answer» Solution :Consider the Ionisation of WATER as a WEAK electroyte. `H_(2)O_((l))+H_(2)O_((l))hArrH_(3)O_((aq))^(+)+OH_((aq))^(-)K=([H_(3)O^(+)]+[OH^(-)])/([H_(2)O])` By convention `[H_(2)O]` is taken as CONSTANT `K_(w)=[H^(+)][OH^(-)]` Where `K_(w)=` Ionic product of waterand its valule is `1XX10^(-14)`
