Question

pH of water is 7 0 at 25 C if water is heated to 70 C
A)pH will decrease and solution becomes acidic
B)pH will increase
C)pH will remain constant as 7
D)pH will decrease but solution will be neutral

Mohit Gupta · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D On heating, the extent of dissociation of
water increases which leads to the increase in concentration of
H+ ions as well as OH- ions Hence the pH of
water decreases, but due to the equal number of H+ and
OH- ions, water remain neutral
Hence, the correct option is D
