Question

what is meant by ionic product of water ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant for the self-ionization of water is referred to as the ion-product for water and is given the symbol K_w .

K_w = [ text{H}^+ ][ text{OH}^- ]

The ion-product of water (K_w) is the mathematical product of the concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.

Answer 2

The product of the molar concentrations of $\mathsf{{H}^{+}}$ and $\mathsf{{OH}^{-}}$ ions of water at a given temperature is called ionic product of water
