pH of water is

  • A.5
  • B.6
  • C.7
  • D.8

Answer: C

The pH of pure water is 7 at 25 °C.

Water self-ionises to the extent that \[[\mathrm{H^+}] = [\mathrm{OH^-}] = 10^{-7}\ \mathrm{mol\,L^{-1}}\] so \(\mathrm{pH} = -\log(10^{-7}) = 7\). The value drifts below 7 at higher temperatures, but the water stays neutral because the two concentrations remain equal.
