>That would be half of 10e-14, or 10e-7, the negative log of that being
7.0.<

No, Roger and Tony were right for pure water.
Half of 10E-14 is 5.10E-15 ... and it should have been 1E-14 anyway!

In the case of pure water it IS the square root of the concentration (or
more properly the activity).

Ok OK, off the list topic!

messages come out straight on the list!!!)
