What is the effect of temperature on the ionic product of water? How will it change the pH value of a neutral solution?

Answer»

H2O ⇌ H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) ...(i)

At 25°C, [H+] = [OH] = 1.01 x 10-7 M.

Kw = 10-14, K = 1.8 x 10-6 (at 25°C)

The value of Kw increases with the increase of temperature i.e., the concentration of H+ and OH ions increases with increase in temperature. Neutral solution pH will increase.
