H 2 O ( l ) &#8652; H ( aq ) + + OH ( aq ) &#8722; For ionization of H 2 O: &#916; H&#62;O &#8658; Endothermic on temperature increase reaction shifts forward &#8658; both H + and H - increase &#8658; pH & pOH decreases.

For the following Assertion and Reason, the correct option is: Assertion: The p H of water increases with…
