Autoprolysis

Postby Nathan_Su_Dis3F » Wed Jan 17, 2024 11:29 pm

For the Autoprolysis Equilibrium factor, is always true no matter what the temperature is that concentration of H30+ and OH- can equal each other as a way to solve for them?

It's not necessarily that [H3O+] and [OH-] will equal each other, but if they are multiplied together as shown in the equilibrium constant expression then this will equal the equilibrium constant at a designated temperature.

I believe H3O and OH can be set equal to each other only if it's pure water (25 degrees C)

I'm not sure if I am understanding your question, but the concentrations of H3O+ and OH- are equal when there is neutral water. Unless it is neutral water at 25 degrees C, the two concentrations are most likely not equal.
