The correct option is C A is true but R is false
Kw increases with increase in temperature as with the increase in temperature more no. of molecules dissociate and ionic product increases.
H2O (l)⇌H+ (aq.)+OH− (aq.)Kw=[H+][OH−]
At equilibrium, [H+]=[OH−]
If Kw increases, then , concentration oh H+and OH− also increases.
Theory :
Ionic Product of water:
H2O(l) + H2O (l)⇌H3O+ (aq.)+ OH− (aq.) or 2H2O(l)⇌H3O+(aq) + OH−(aq)
as per laws of mass action : Kc=[H+][OH−][H2O]
In pure water,and in dilute aqueous solutions The molar concentration of water is essentially a constant, with molarity of 55.55 mol/L.
Density of H2O=1 g/ml
or Mass of H2O in g = Volume of H2O in ml = 1g or 1 ml
Mass of H2O in 1L of water= 1000 g
Molarity(M)=moles of waterVolume of solution M=1000181=55.55mol/L
The ratio of dissociated water to that of undissociated water can be given as :
10−755=1.8×10−9.Thus, equilibrium lies mainly towards undissociated water.
Therefore, Kc×[H2O] = [H+][OH−] Kc×H2O is a constant which is also called ionic product of water Kw.
Effect of temperature on Kw:
The ionic product of water Kw increases with increase of temperature. The dissociation of water molecule into it's ions is an endothermic reaction.
2H2O(l)⇌H3O+(aq) + OH−(aq.)ΔH>0
By Le Chatelier's principle, increase in the temperature will shift the equilibrium in forward direction. So more ions are formed, and Kw increases.
Kw∝T
Note:- Ionic product of water is always a constant whatever may be dissolved in water. As it is an equilibrium constant, it will depend only on temperature.
