Question

The ionic product of water is found to be `1 xx 10^(-12) mol^(2)//L^(2) " at " 60^(@)C`. What would be the nature of solution with pH = 7 ? Explain giving reasons

Answer 1

(i) concentration of `H^(+) and OH^(-)`
(ii) `[H^(+)]//[OH^(-)]` from the given ionic product of water
(iii) calculation of pH from `[H^(+)]` (or) pOH from `[OH^(-)]`
(iv) relation between pH value and nature of the solution
(v) relation between given pH and nature of the solution
