pH of water is 7 at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). If water is heated to \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)., it's pH will :

  1. A Decrease
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)concentration increases, \(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\)concentration decreases
  3. C Remains the same
  4. D Increase
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Decrease

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), pure water has \(\mathrm{pH}=7\) As temperature increased, water molecules dissociate more into hydrogen ions ( \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)) and hydroxide ions \(\left(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right)\). This increased dissociation leads to slightly decrease in pH .…
