Question:medium

If pH of water is 7 at 25°C, then the pH of water at 180°C will:

Updated On: Mar 25, 2026
  • Increase
  • Decrease
  • \( H^+ \) increases, \( OH^- \) decreases
  • Remains constant
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

An increase in temperature leads to a corresponding increase in the ionization of water. At elevated temperatures, the concentrations of \( H^+ \) and \( OH^- \) ions rise, resulting in a decrease in the pH of water. This is due to the inverse relationship between pH and the concentration of hydrogen ions.Therefore, the correct answer is option (2) Decrease.
