Options
- Aii and iii
- Biii and iv
- Ci and ii
- Diii and i
Correct answer
C. i and ii
Step-by-step solution
The equation of the ionic product of water can be written as: H 2 O ⇌ H + + OH - or ,   2 H 2 O ⇌ H 3 O + + OH - The above equation can be obtained by adding the first two given equations: NH 3 aq + H 2 O ⇆ NH 4 aq + + OH aq - NH 4 aq + + H 2 O ⇆ H 3 O + + NH 3 aq 2 H 2 O ⇌ H 3 O + + OH - Hence, on doing basic manipulations in i   &   ii we are able to get required equation for ionic product of water
