Answer:
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
