MCQ
At ${80\,^o}C,$ distilled water has $[{H_3}{O^ + }]$ concentration equal to $1 \times {10^{ - 6}}\,\,mole/litre.$ The value of ${K_w}$ at this temperature will be
  • A
    $1 \times {10^{ - 6}}$
  • B
    $1 \times {10^{ - 9}}$
  • $1 \times {10^{ - 12}}$
  • D
    $1 \times {10^{ - 15}}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1 \times {10^{ - 12}}$
(c) ${K_w} = [{H_3}{O^ + }]\,\,[O{H^ - }]$

Concentration of ${H_3}{O^ + }$ in distilled water$ = 1 \times {10^{ - 6}}$ $mol/l$.

Now $[{H_3}{O^ + }] = [O{H^ - }]$

${K_w} = [1 \times {10^{ - 6}}] \times [1 \times {10^{ - 6}}] = 1 \times {10^{ - 12}}$.
