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.

Freeze drying<span> (or lyophilization) removes water from the ice cream by lowering the </span>air pressure<span> to a point where ice sublimates from a </span>solid<span> to a </span>gas<span>.

I think the best word here would be compress. It is to compress that is defined as to squeeze a gas into a smaller space. Compression is the reduction of volume which cause an increase in pressure of the gas. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
