Question

Difference between ionic product and ionisation constant of water

Answer 1

Explanation:

· The constant Kw is called ionic product constant of water. The concentration of H+ in pure water is found out experimentally to be 1.0 x 10-7 mol dm-3 at 298 K. Moreover, in pure water concentration of H+ is equal to the concentration of OH- ions because dissociation of water produces equal number of H+ ions
