Problem

KwK_{\text{w}} is dependent on temperature. At 85 °C, Kw=31.3×10−14K_{\text{w}} = 31.3 \times 10^{-14} . (1) Does this value for KwK_{\text{w}} suggest that water is more or less dissociated into its ions at higher temperatures? (2) Calculate the pH of water at this temperature. (3) Explain whether or not water is neutral at this temperature.
