The pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37°C is 6.8.
<h3>What is Kw? </h3>
Kw is defined as the dissociation, which is also known as self-ionization, constant of water. this is an equilibrium constant, and its expression is:
Kw = [OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺]
Neutral pH determines that the concentrations of OH⁻ and H₃O⁺ are equal.
<h3>Calculation</h3>
Let us suppose concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ is x, to calculate it:
Kw =[OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺] = x²
x² = 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴ M²
x = 1.5919 × 10⁻⁷ M
Hence, the concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ (x) = [H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M
pH = -log[H₃O⁺] = -log( 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M)
pH = 6.8
Thus, we find that the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37 °c (which is the normal human body temperature) is 6.8.

C) It determines the concentration of an unknown substance in neutralization reactions.
Answer:
1x10^-8 M
Explanation:
Since the solution turns blue, it mean the solution is a base.
Now, to know which option is correct, we need to determine the pH of each solution. This is illustrated below:
1. Concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] = 1x10^-2 M
pH =..?
pH = - log [H+]
pH = - log 1x10^-2
pH = 2
2. Concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] = 5x10-2 M
pH =..?
pH = - log [H+]
pH = - log 5x10^-2
pH = 1.3
3. Concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] = 5x10 M
pH =..?
pH = - log [H+]
pH = - log 5x10
pH = - 1.7
4. Concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] = 1x10-8 M
pH =..?
pH = - log [H+]
pH = - log 1x10^-8
pH = 8
A pH reading shows if the solution is acidic or basic. A pH reading between 0 and 6 indicates an acidic solution, a pH reading of 7 indicates a neutral solution while a pH reading between 8 and 14 indicates a basic solution.
From the above calculations, the pH reading indicates a basic solution when the hydrogen ion concentration was 1x10^-8 M.
The answer is likely to be A
Evaporation,condensation,precipitation,sublimation,transpirtation,runoff and infiltration
