Q:
The amphoteric reaction between two water molecules is endothermic, which means that this reaction requires the input of energy in order to proceed:Energy + O + O -> + OThe warmer the temperature of the water, the more thermal energy is available for this reaction, and the more hydronium and hydroxide ions are formed.
