(ii) (1) Kw for water increases with the increase in temperature due to the increase in the degree of ionisation of water.

ISC Chemistry Question Paper 2017 Solved for Class 12 Q4
This is because the forward reaction is accompanied by a decrease in volume.
The principle used is i.e., Chatelier’s principle.
It states that when a system in equilibrium is subjected to stress, (i.e., change of concentration, temperature pressure etc.), the equilibrium tends to shift in a direction so as to undergo the effect of applied stress.
