Step 1

In an aqueous solution, the the concentration of hydroxide ion and the concentration of hydronium ion always exist in equilibrium due to auto-ionization of water (KW) that is the equilibrium constant.

Water dissociates and exists in equilibrium as 2H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+OH-(aq)

The autoionization of water (KW) is the product of H3O+ ion concentration and OH- ion concentration.

Kw=H3O+·OH-

At 25oC, the value of KW = 1 x 10-14.
