Autoionization of Water H2O (l) + H2O (l) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq) . . . OR . . . H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O (l) Kw = [H+(aq) ] [OH-(aq) ] = 1.0 X 10 -14 at SATP In neutral solutions [H+(aq) ] = [OH-(aq) ] In acidic solutions [H+(aq) ] > [OH- (aq) ] In basic solutions [H+(aq) ] < [OH-(aq) ]
pH = - log [H+ (aq) ] OR pH = - log [H3O+ (aq) ] pOH = - log [OH-(aq) ] pH + pOH = 14 at SATP
