Water is a very weak electrolyte that undergoes the following ionization (called autoionization):

(a) If k1 = 2.4 × 10−5 s−1 and k−1= 1.3 × 1011/M • s, calculate the equilibrium constant K where K = [H+][OH]/[H20). (b) Calculate the product [H+][OH],[H+], and [OH]. (Hint: Calculate the concentration of liquid water using its density, 1.0 g/mL.)
