Answer : The correct option is, (2) 1\times 10^{-14}

Explanation :

Dissociation constant of pure water : It is defined as the product of the concentration of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion.

The equilibrium dissociation reaction for water will be:

H_2O(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

The expression for dissociation constant for water will be:

k_w=[H^+][OH^-]

Experimentally, at 25^oC temperature, the concentration of H^+ ion in pure water is found to be 1.0\times 10^{-7}mol/L.

As we know that in pure water, the concentration of hydrogen ion is equal to the concentration of hydroxide ions.

So, the value of dissociation constant of pure water will be:

k_w=[H^+][OH^-]

k_w=(1.0\times 10^{-7})\times (1.0\times 10^{-7})

k_w=(1.0\times 10^{-14})

Therefore, the dissociation constant of pure water is by (1.0\times 10^{-14})
