Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The simplified ionization equation of the pure water is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Pure water is not a very good conductor of electricity due to the presence of a very small number of ions that are responsible for the flow of electricity. This happens very rarely that two water molecules collide with the appropriate amount of energy to give back hydronium ion
(b)
Interpretation:
The ionization constant equation of the pure water is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Pure water is not a very good conductor of electricity due to the presence of a very small number of ions that are responsible for the flow of electricity. This happens very rarely that two water molecules collide with the appropriate amount of energy to give back hydronium ion

Interpretation:
The ionization constant of the pure water at
