Question

You are on a new planet and discover a substance, Z2O that undergoes autoionization just like water on Earth.  Z2O + Z2O  ⇌ Z3O+ + OZ

Through a series of experiments, you determine the equilibrium constant (Kx) for this autoionization reaction at various temperatures. The value of Keq at 25.1ºC is 6.6 x 10-13. What is the pZ of the pure substance at this temperature? (pZ = -log(Z3O+) Report your answer to the hundreths place.
