Detailed Solution

The addition of NaOH to pure water won't affect Kw because it is fixed at a specific temperature. However, the addition of NaOH raises the concentration of OH ions, shifting the dissociation equilibrium of (H2O) to the left. [    [    H2O(l)+H2O(l) H3O+(aq)+OH-(aq)    ]   

The amount of H3O+ ions in the solution decreases as a result.
