The ionization constant of water increases with increase in temperature.(a) true(b) falseThe question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.My doubt is from Equilibrium topic in portion Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (a) true

For explanation I WOULD say: The ionization product of water is GIVEN by [H3O^+][OH^–] =1 x 10^-14/mol^2L^2 at 298 k, the product of the concentration of hydronium IONS and hydroxyl ions in pure water. Concentrations increase with temperature, so the ionization constant of water increases with increase in temperature.
