How is H+ and H3O+ the same? |
|
Answer» The H3O+ ion is CONSIDERED to be the same as the H+ ion as it is the H+ ion joined to a water MOLECULE. The proton cannot EXIST in aqueous solution, due to its positive charge it is attracted to the ELECTRONS on water molecules and the SYMBOL H3O+ is used to represent this transfer.The equation can be written as:H+ + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq).This is hydrolysis as it is involving water as a reactant.PLEASE MARK MY ANSWER BRAINLIEST |
