Water possesses a high dielectric constant, therefore:

• it always contains ions

• it is a universal solvent

• can dissolve covalent compounds

• can conduct electricity

The value of the ionic product of water depends:

• on volume of water

• on temperature

• changes by adding acid or alkali

• always remain constant

Heavy water is:

• water containing Fe, Cr, Mn

• water at 0°C

• D₂O

• water obtained after distillation

In a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, combustion of hydrogen occurs to
