    The pH of boiling water (373K) is:

    A)  1              

    B)  6

    C)  8              

    D)  10

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The \[{{K}_{\omega }}\]at\[373K={{10}^{-12}}\] In case of pure water \[{{K}_{\omega }}=10{{~}^{12}}\] \[=[{{H}^{+}}][O{{H}^{-}}]\] \[\therefore \] \[[{{H}^{+}}]=[O{{H}^{-}}]={{10}^{-6}}\] We know that\[pH=-\log [{{H}^{+}}]\] \[=-\log [{{10}^{-6}}]=6\] The \[{{K}_{\omega }}\]at \[373\text{ }K={{10}^{-12}}\]
