The PH of Pure Water Is ______ Because ___________________________

The pH of pure water is ______ because ___________________________.

A) 7.0; water dissociates an equal number of H⁺ ions and OH^-
B) 14.0; water dissociates and more OH^- is formed because there are more hydrogen atoms in water
C) 1.0; water dissociates and more H⁺ is formed since hydrogen is smaller and can separate from the oxygen easily
D) 7.0; there are no ions formed in pure water
E) acidic; there are more H⁺ ions than OH^- ions present
