Like all equilibrium constants, the value of Kw depends on temperature. At body temperature (37 °C), Kw = 2.4×10–14. What are the [H3O+] and pH of pure water at body temperature?
Calculate the pH of each acid solution. Explain how the resulting pH values demonstrate that the pH of an acid solution should carry as many digits to the right of the decimal place as the number of significant figures in the concentration of the solution. [H3O+] = 0.044 M [H3O+] = 0.045 M [H3O+] = 0.046 M
Calculate [H3O+] and [OH–] for each solution at 25 °C. a. pH = 8.55
The value of Kw increases with increasing temperature. Is the autoionization of water endothermic or exothermic?
Calculate [H3O+] and [OH–] for each solution at 25 °C. b. pH = 11.23 c. pH = 2.87
