Write reaction for autoprotolysis of water. How is ionic product of wa

1.	Write reaction for autoprotolysis of water. How is ionic product of water related to ionization constant of water ? Derive the relationship.
Answer» SOLUTION :Autoprotolysis of `H_(2)O` TAKES place as : `{:(H_(2)O+H_(2)O,HARR,H_(3)O^(+)+OH^(-)),(""H_(2)O,hArr,H^(+)+OH^(-)):}` For IONIZATION of `H_(2)O`, `K_(i)=([H^(+)][OH^(-)])/([H_(2)O])=(K_(w))/([H_(2)O])=(K_(w))/(55.55 "mol" L^(-1)) or K_(w)=K_(i)xx55.55`.
