The process in which like molecules react to yield ions is called autoionization. Liquid water undergoes autoionization to a very slight extent; at 25 C, approximately two out of every billion water molecules are ionized. The extent of the water autoionization process is reflected in the value of its equilibrium constant, the ion-product constant for water, Kw: K= HO) base Lone pair of O binds H*. [HO+][OH-] [H0] a) [H3O+] increases HO(l) acid [H0+][OH-] 1 b) [OH-] increases [Select] HgO log) + OH(aq) Mathematically, [H3O+] and [OH-] are inversely proportional. Select the change that happens when [Select] Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0x104 (at 25C) 2 pts
