(a) From Kw in Table 6-1, calculate the pH of pure water at 0°, 20°, and 40°C.

(b) For the reaction D₂O ⇌ D⁺ + OD^-, K = [D⁺][OD^-] =1.35 × 10^-15 at 25°C. In this equation, D stands for deuterium, which is the isotope ²H. What is the pD (= –log[D⁺]) for neutral D₂O?

Concentrations in the product [H* ][OH ] in this table are expressed in molality rather than in molarity. Accuracy of log Kw is ±0.01. To convert molality (mol/kg) into molarity (mol/L), multiply by the density of H20 at each temperature. At 25°C, K = 10-13.995 (molkg) (0.997 05 kg/L) = 10 13.998(mol/L. SOURCE: W. L. Marshall and E.
