Q13 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 1) · Chemistry
The of pure water at is
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
At , the value of the ionic product of water is. The ionic product of water is defined as
Since the degree of ionization is proportional to temperature, the value of the ionic product of water increases with increase in temperature. So, the ionic product will increase at a temperature more than
Therefore, at , the ionic product will increase and so the hydrogen ion concentration will increase and thus, the pH will become less than 7.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
