The pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37°C is 6.8.
<h3>What is Kw? </h3>
Kw is defined as the dissociation, which is also known as self-ionization, constant of water. this is an equilibrium constant, and its expression is:
Kw = [OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺]
Neutral pH determines that the concentrations of OH⁻ and H₃O⁺ are equal.
<h3>Calculation</h3>
Let us suppose concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ is x, to calculate it:
Kw =[OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺] = x²
x² = 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴ M²
x = 1.5919 × 10⁻⁷ M
Hence, the concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ (x) = [H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M
pH = -log[H₃O⁺] = -log( 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M)
pH = 6.8
Thus, we find that the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37 °c (which is the normal human body temperature) is 6.8.

Answer:
Scandium is the most reactive
Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.
Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.
In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.
Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.
If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.
