w 2H O H O OH ,K 1 10 x at 25ºC hence Ka is : (a) 1 10 x (b) 5.55 10 x (c) 18 10 x (d) 1.00 10 x

Answer
C
Explanation

Here a K  is the acid dissociation constant and w K  is the ionic product of water which is given 14 1.0 10 w K x . We know that, w a 2 K K H O . Now  25 C , the concentration of water is 2 H O 55.55M . Putting all the values in the above equation we get, 2 14 17 10 55.55 18 10 w a a a K K H O K K >> >> x Hence, option (C) is the correct one. pH Scale
