pure water becomes more alkaline as the temperature is increased.
the ionization of water is an exothermic process.
pure water becomes more acidic as the temperature is increased.
the ph of pure water decreases as the temperature is increased.

The correct answer is:

The pH of pure water decreases as the temperature is increased.

Explanation:

Ionization constant of water :

Water will dissociate into equal amount of hydronium and hydroxide ions

As we can see that from the given information that ionic product of water increase with increase in temperature which means concentration of hydronium ion concentration increases.

And according to definition of pH of the solution is a negative logarithm of hydronium ions concentration.

The pH of the solution of solution is inversely proportional to the concentration of hydronium ions.

As the hydronium ion concentration of water increases with increase in temperature , the pH of the water will decrease.

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
