    At \[{{80}^{o}}C,\] distilled water has \[[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}]\] concentration equal to \[1\times {{10}^{-6}}\,\,mole/litre.\] The value of \[{{K}_{w}}\]at this temperature will be      [CBSE PMT 1994; RPMT 2000; AFMC 2001; AIIMS 2002; BHU 2002]

    A)                 \[1\times {{10}^{-6}}\]  

    B)                 \[1\times {{10}^{-9}}\]

    C)                 \[1\times {{10}^{-12}}\]               

    D)                 \[{{K}_{SP}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[{{K}_{w}}=[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}]\,\,[O{{H}^{-}}]\]                    Concentration of \[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}\]in distilled water            \[=1\times {{10}^{-6}}\]mol/l.                    Now \[[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}]=[O{{H}^{-}}]\]                                 \[{{K}_{w}}=[1\times {{10}^{-6}}]\times [1\times {{10}^{-6}}]=1\times {{10}^{-12}}\].
