The value of K_a for water is 10^{-14}

Explanation:

We are given:

K_w for water = 10^{-14}

Equation for the ionic product of water is given as, K_w=[H^+]\times [OH^-]

[H^+]=[OH^-]

2[H^+]=10^{-14}

[H^+]=10^{-7}M

The chemical equation for the dissociation of water follows:

H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-

The expression of K_a for above equation follows:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][OH^-]}{[H_2O]}

Concentration of pure solids and liquids are taken as 1 in the equilibrium constant expression. So, [H_2O]=1

Putting values in above expression, we get:

K_a=[H^+]\times [OH^-]\\\\K_a=(10^{-7})\times (10^{-7})\\\\K_a=10^{-14}
