What is the Kw (Water Ionization Constant) Calculator?

The Kw Calculator is a tool that helps users determine the concentration of hydrogen ions [H⁺] and hydroxide ions [OH⁻] in water or any aqueous solution based on the water ionization constant (Kw). This is useful for chemistry students, educators, and laboratory professionals who want to calculate ion concentrations quickly without performing manual calculations. By entering the Kw value and optionally a known ion concentration, the calculator provides accurate results instantly, simplifying calculations related to water autoionization and pH/pOH analysis.

How to Use:

1. Enter Kw Value: Input the water ionization constant, typically 1×10⁻¹⁴ at 25°C.
2. Enter Known Ion Concentration [H⁺] or [OH⁻] (optional): Input the concentration of one of the ions if known; leave blank if unknown.
3. Click “Calculate”: The calculator computes the corresponding ion concentrations.
4. Review Result: The output displays either the concentrations of [H⁺] and [OH⁻] in pure water or the unknown ion concentration if one ion is provided. Results are displayed in scientific notation for clarity.
