The Ph OF NEUTRAL WATER AT `25^(@)C` is `7.0.` As the temperature increases, ionisation of water increases, however the concentration of `H^(+)` ions nad `OH^(-)` ions equal. What will be the ph of puire water at `60^(@)C`?

Options

A. Equal to 7.0
B. Greater than 7.0
C. Less than 7.0
D. Equal to zero

Answer

A

Explanation

As the ionisation of water increases, the concentration of `H^+` ions increases and therefore, pH will be less than 7.0.
