At higher room temperatures than 25 deg. C, there are greater concentrations of both ions, which proves you wrong
It's correct, there are more ions at higher temperature, but it doesn't prove me wrong.
Hydrogen bonds are broken by electric field:
Geissler et al. have determined that electric field fluctuations in liquid water cause molecular dissociation (2). They propose the following sequence of events that takes place in about 150 fs: the system begins in a neutral state; the solvent's electric field breaks a hydrogen bond between two water molecules, creating a hydroxide and hydronium ion

quote from crashfrog:
Temperature is a statistical property, which means that, in any substance at a certain temperature, some molecules of it have greater kinetic energy than average, and some have less than average. Arrhenius proved this, and it's why most chemical reactions display a continuous relationship between temperature and rate, rather than the discontinuous relationship one would expect from the examination of activation energies alone.
Hell, I have the lab notes to prove it.
Yes that's correct temperature is the average of kinectic energy. But that doesn't mean the upper end of the kinetic energy of room temperature is enough to break the strong hydrogen bonds. I don't doubt you have the notes, I only doubt your understanding of the notes.
quote from crashfrog:
Don't they teach chem engineers any chemistry at all?
We take the same chemistry class as chemists: gen-chem, o-chem, p-chem, inorg-chem, surface chem, etc. I am not sure about other university, but at mine chemEs are always at the top of the chemistry classes.
As for thermodynamics, we learn it from three perspectives: one term in P-chem, two terms in engineering (heat transfer) and three terms in CHE thermo.
This is probably why chemical engineers can come out after four years and is able to do real work earning an industry's average of $56,850 a year. Whereas chemist requires a master to do any real work and still gets paid less ($53,879).
