Answer:
C. pH > pOH; Kw = 1.0 * 10^-14
Explanation:
The ion product of water, Kw = [H+]*[OH-] = 1.0 * 10^-14. It is a constant.
When an acid or base is added to water, its ion product does not change as it a constant. However, the relative concentrations of H+ ions and OH- ions will change depending on whether an acid or base is added to water.
When an acid is added to water, the concentration of H+ ions increases while that of OH- ions decreases, and vice versa.
Therefore, in the above situation where an acid is added to water, pH > pOH; Kw = 1.0 * 10^-14
