Question

The ionic product of water increases if:

pressure is decreased

${{H}^{+}}$ are added

$O{{H}^{-}}$ are added

temperature is increased

Answer

temperature is increased

Explanation

Solution

The ionization of water and all other electrolytes, increase when temperature is increased. Hence, ionic product of water will also increase. ${{H}_{2}}O\rightleftharpoons {{H}^{+}}+O{{H}^{-}}$ $[{{H}^{+}}]\,\,[O{{H}^{-}}]={{K}_{w}}$ (ionic product of water)
