Answer: 1 × 10−2 M
Explanation: Kw is known as the constant of water dissociation and its value is found to be . It is the product of the concentration of [H3O+] and [OH -] ions .
Dissociation of water can be represented by -
Kw = [H3O+] [OH -]
As we know that pKw = - log Kw,
Thus pKw = 14
pOH = - log OH- = - log (10^{-12}) = 12
and pKw = pH + pOH
14 = pH + 12
pH = 14 - 12 = 2
pH = -log H3O+
2 = -log H3O+
Therefore, [H3O+] = 1 × 10−2 M
