Question

For pure water

Options

A.pH increases and pOH decreases with rise in temperature
B.pH decreases and pOH increases with rise in temperature
C.Both pH and pOH increase with rise in temperature
D.Both pH and pOH decrease with rise in temperature

Solution

On heating pure water the value of ionic product of water increases i.e., Kw = 10-14 at 25oC and at 100oC Kw = 10-12. Thus pH and pOH both becomes 6 at 100oC (pH and pOH = 7 at 25oC).
