Consider the acid base equilibrium in water.......

Explanation:

$2 H_{2} O ⇌ H_{3} O^{+} + H O^{-}$ $2H_2O rightleftharpoons H_3O^+ + HO^-$

At $298 \cdot K$ $298*K$ , under standard conditions, $K_{w} = 10^{- 14}$ $K_w=10^-14$ . This is well-known.

The equilibrium reaction is clearly a BOND-BREAKING reaction, and given the extent of reaction (as revealed by $K_{w}$ $K_w$ ) it is thermodynamically uphill. At higher temperatures, we would thus expect the equilibrium to shift to the right, inasmuch as we are supplying some of the energy to break the strong $O - H$ $O-H$ bonds.

Is this for what you were looking?
