Understanding kW in Chemistry

In this video, Erin introduces the concept of kW, a specific type of equilibrium constant related to the dissociation of water. The video covers the derivation of kW, using an ICE chart to find concentrations, and the applications of kW in chemistry, such as converting between pH and pOH. The video concludes with a summary and a call to action for viewers to like and subscribe.

What does the 'W' in kW stand for?
