The ionic product equilibrium constant is

Correct answer: D. Kw

  • A. Ka
  • B. Kb
  • C. Kc
  • D. Kw

Explanation

The ionic product equilibrium constant, represented by Kw, is defined for the self-ionization of water. It is the product of the concentrations of H+ and OH- ions in water, typically at 25°C, where Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1.0 × 10-14 mol2/L2. Kw is unique to the self-ionization of water, whereas Ka and Kb are used for acids and bases, and Kc is a general equilibrium constant.
