We have the ionic product of water at 310 K is 2.7 \times 10^{-14}
It is known that,
ionic product K_w = [H^+][OH^-]

SInce [H^+]=[OH^-], therefore K_w = [H^+]^2

\Rightarrow K_w at 310 K is 2.7 \times 10^{-14}
\therefore K_w = 2.7\times 10^{-14} = [H^+]^2
 here we can calculate the value of [H^+] concentration.

[H^+] = \sqrt{2.7 \times 10^{-14}} = 1.64 \times 10^{-7}

Thus, p^H = -\log[H^+]
                   = -\log(1.64\times 10^{-7})
                  = 6.78

Hence the p^H of neutral water is 6.78
