The correct relationship between Ka & Kb at 25°C for water is

Correct answer: A. Ka × Kb = Kw

  • A. Ka × Kb = Kw
  • B. Ka × Kb = [H+][OH-]
  • C. Ka × Kb = 10-14
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The correct relationship between Ka and Kb at 25°C is Ka × Kb = Kw, where Kw is the ion product of water, equal to 1.0 × 10-14 at this temperature. Option A is correct as it clearly states this relationship. Option B, while equivalent to Kw's definition, does not explicitly mention it, making it less clear. Option C provides the numerical value of Kw but omits the term, reducing clarity. Option D is incorrect because Option A accurately expresses the relationship.
