Answer to Question #148432 in Organic Chemistry for adeng

Question

At normal body temperature, 37 degrees C Kw=2.4 x 10^-14. Calculate the H+ and OH- for neutral solution at this temperature.

Answer 1

For neutral solution concentration of H+ and OH- are same,

We know ionic product (Kw) =(concentration of H+)*(concentration of OH-),

Concentration of H+=concentration of OH- = √kw =1.54*10^-7
