Answer is: The product of Ka and Kb equals the auto-dissociation constant for water.
Reaction of auto-dissociation for water: H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻.
Water dissociates (autoionization) to form hydrogen ions (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions. The protons (H⁺) hydrate as hydroxonium ions( H₃O⁺).
The Kw (the ionic product for water) at 25°C is 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ or 1·10⁻¹⁴ M². Concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in pure water are the same.
