Water ionizes by the equation
H₂O(1)
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
The extent of the reaction is small in pure water and dilute aqueous solutions.
This reaction creates the following relationship between [H+] and [OH-]:
Kw = [H+][OH-]
Keep in mind that, like all equilibrium constants, the value of Kw changes with
temperature.
