The `pk_w^@` of water

A

increases with increase in temperature

B

decreases with increase in temperature

C

increases upto `4^@C` followed by decrease

D

remains constant with change in temperature

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

B

Hence, increase in `K_w^(o)` (which occurs as temperature is increased) results into the decrease of `pK_w^(o)`.
