The ionic product of water is 0∙11 x 10-14 at 273 K, 1 x 10-14 at 298 K and 7∙5 x 10-14 at 373K. Deduce from this data whether the ionization of water to hydrogen and hydroxide ion is exothermic or endothermic? |

Answer» Kω = (H3O+)(OH−) According to the data, the value of Kω is increasing with temperature. Therefore, according to Le-Chatelier's principle, the ionisation of water is endothermic. |
