Solution

The correct option is D 2.00×1016
The degree of dissociation (α) for water is 1.9×107100=1.9×109.

1 L of water (molecular mass =18 g/mol) weighs 1000 g.
Hence, concentration of water =100018 M.

The expression for the ionization constant of water is K=[H+][OH]=C(α)2.

Substituting values in the above expression, we get
K=100018×(1.9×109)2=2.0×1016.
