Answer #1

Kw = 2.4 x 10^-14

Kw = [H+][OH-]

in neutral solution [H+] = [OH-]

Kw = [H+]^2

2.4 x 10^-14 = [H+]^2

[H+] = 1.549 x 10^-7

pH = -log [H+] = -log(1.549 x 10^-7) = 6.809

pH= 6.809 -----------------------------------------------> answer

now the pH scale is re-constructed at 370C. at this temperature pH scale contain 0 to 13.619 .

below 6.809 acidic above 6.809 basic

now answer for the second question

at pH =7 solution is basic -----------------------------------------> answer
