H2O(l) + H2O(l) + heat ==> H3O^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)
So if you add heat that forces the equilibrium to the right (to use up the added heat) which means a larger percent ionization as well as an increase in Kw at higher temperatures.
the autoionization of water, as represented by the equation below, is known to be endothermic. What can be correctly said of what occurs as the temperature of water is raised?(please explain)
H2O(l)+H2O(l)<->H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)
