What is the general equilibrium expression for the self-

ionization of water (shown below)?

2H20 (aq) = H20+ (aq) + OH- (aq)

Kw= = [H3O+][OH-] = [H+][OH-].

Explanation:

In chemistry, the term 'equilibrium'' is a period or time in which the rate at which the product is been produced or generated is equal to the quantity of the reactants reacting. In order way, we can say the equilibrium is when forward Reaction is equal to the backward Reactions.

The general equilibrium expression for the self-ionization of water is given below;

Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = [H+][OH-].

The kw is now equal to 1.001x10-14 at 25°C. Kw which is the equilibrium constant is also refer to as the dissociation constant of water.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
