The K w for water at 0 ∘ C is 0.12 × 10 − 14 M 2 . Calculate the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 0 ∘ C . p H = Is a pH = 7.25 solution acidic, basic, or neutral at 0 ∘ C ?

pH → 7.46

Explanation:

We begin with the autoionization of water. This equilibrium reaction is:

2H₂O  ⇄   H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻            Kw = 1×10⁻¹⁴         at 25°C

Kw = [H₃O⁺] . [OH⁻]

We do not consider [H₂O] in the expression for the constant.

[H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = √1×10⁻¹⁴   →  1×10⁻⁷ M

Kw depends on the temperature

0.12×10⁻¹⁴ = [H₃O⁺] . [OH⁻]  → [H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻]         at 0°C

√0.12×10⁻¹⁴ = [H₃O⁺] → 3.46×10⁻⁸ M

- log [H₃O⁺] = pH

pH = - log 3.46×10⁻⁸ → 7.46

i am going to put the answers in order i dint feel like typing it out so yeah
