The Keq for the reaction of water with water is called Kw H O H O H30 OH H3O OH Kw H 0 OH 1 x 10 7 1 x 10 14 H O The inverse logarithm or log of H3O OH 10 14 is pH pOH 14 1 What happens to the H30 when acid is added to neutral water the H30 goes 2 What happens to the pH when acid is added to neutral water an example of an increased H3O is H30 1 x 106 Thus pH log 106 6 thus adding acid makes the pH go 3 What happens to the OH when acid is added to neutral water in the equation H O OH 10 14 when H30 increases the OH goes 4 What happens to the pOH when acid is added to neutral water when OH decreases the pOH goes this can also be seen using pH pOH 14 5 What happens to the Kw when acid is added to neutral water since the pOH log OH
