Hey!

I was wondering why the Kw value increases exponentially with temperature. I know this is given in Van't Hoff's equation, but I want to understand it in regards to chemistry, not just the equations.

Thank you!

Van't Hoff equation IS chemistry, you can easily derive it from thermodynamic considerations (assuming ΔH⁰ and ΔS⁰ don't depend on the temperature - which in general isn't true, but holds reasonably well as long as the temperature differences aren't too large).
