why does ph of water changes on increasing temperature?
Dear Divya
pH changes with changes in temperature. The famous "pH + pOH = 14" applies to the situation at 25C. That's because Kw = [H+] x [OH-] = 1.00 x 10^-14 is true at 25C. Remember, the only factor that affects the value of an equilibrium constant is temperature. As the temperature increases, the value of Kw increases. As Kw increases, then [H+] and [OH-] increase, and the pH, which is based on [H+], decreases. (pH = -log[H+]) This is why pH meters are equipped with a temperature compensation control, which electronically cancels out the change in pH due to temperature changes.
All the best.
