pH of water is 7 at 25^ C . If water is heated to 80^ C ., it's pH will :
Options
- ADecrease
- BH ⁺ concentration increases, OH ⁻ concentration decreases
- CRemains the same
- DIncrease
Correct answer
A. Decrease
Step-by-step solution
At 25^ C , pure water has pH =7 As temperature increased, water molecules dissociate more into hydrogen ions ( H ⁺ ) and hydroxide ions ( OH ⁻ ) . This increased dissociation leads to slightly decrease in pH . At 80^ C , pH 6.93
