Concept Introduction:
Determining the expression for the Ion product constant of water:
Water is a poor electrolyte. So it ionizes to a very small extent and it is known as autoionization of water. It can be represented as follows:
The rate constant for this equilibrium reaction is
To indicate that the rate constant is being the rate constant for the autoionization of water,
So,
Since
At
