The pH of pure water is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water is one of the most important constituents of living being. It is said that there is no life without water. So that water need to neutral in nature to save life. Pure water is composed of hydronium H^{+} and hydroxide \left(O H^{-}\right) ions. It is known that hydronium ions are acidic in nature with concentration of 1 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{L}.

Similarly, the hydroxide ions which are basic in nature will be in same concentration as that of hydronium ions. So, as the concentration of basic and acidic elements are equal with the same strength of pH, the combination of these ions lead to formation of pure water with the pH being neutral.

How many grams of water form when 1.24 l of gas h2 at stp completely reacts with o2?
kati45 [8]
Balanced reaction for formation of water is ;
2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O
Stoichiometry of H2 to H20 is 2:2
1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L
Therefore it 22.4 L contains 1 mole
Then 1.24 L has -1/22.4 x 1.24 = 0.055 mol
Number of water moles formed = 0.055 mol
Therefore mass of water formed = 0.055 mol x 18 g/mol = 0.99 g of water is formed
