Ion product of water

Represented as Kw

Ion product of water is the product of the concentrations of hydrogen ions H+ and hydroxide ions OH− in water, expressed as:

As the concentration of H+ increases the PH decreases

Temperature effect on the ion product of water

As the temperature increases the larger extent of ion dissociation

Thus more ions are formed therefore decreasing the pH (More acidity)

However the solution is still neutral

pH scale

a measure of how acidic or basic a substance is, ranging from

0 to 14pH = -log[H3O+']

New cards

The pOH

Calculated the same way you calculate pH, except its a measure of Hydroxide (OH-) concentration

pH + pOH = 14
