a) Compute the molarity of pure water. That is, how many moles of water are in a liter of water? Density of water is 1.0 g/ml.
b) Kw is a constant at 25°C, but it increases with temperature. Use the following values of Kw to compute the pH of pure water at the stated temperatures. (Hint: for pure water [OH^-]=[H3O^+])
i. What is the pH at 0°C given that Kw=0.114 x 10^-14 M^2?
ii. What is the pH at 100°C given that Kw=51.3 x 10^-14 M^2?
d) Based on the effect of temperature on Kw, how does the addition of heat shift the equilibrium for the autoionization reaction:
H2O + H2O <==> [OH^-] + [H3O^+]
Does heat shift the equilibrium toward reactants or products? Does the reaction release heat or absorb heat? Explain.
