Biochemistry
What ions are formed during the autoionization of water?
Given that the concentration of H3O+ is 1.0 x 10^-7 M in pure water, calculate the equilibrium constant (Kw) for the autoionization of water.
What is the significance of the ion constant of water (Kw) in biochemical reactions?
If the concentration of OH- in a solution is 1.0 x 10^-5 M, what is the concentration of H+ in the solution at 25°C?
Calculate the pH of a solution where the concentration of H+ is 3.2 x 10^-4 M.
Analyze the implications of the reversible nature of water autoionization on the pH of a solution.
What happens to the ion constant of water (Kw) as temperature increases?
