no, because pure water has an even number of H+ ions and OH- ions that have all bonded to form H2O.

What is hydronium hydroxide?

Hydronium hydroxide is not a recognized chemical compound. There is no stable form of hydronium hydroxide because hydronium ions (H3O+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) react to form water.


In a neutralization reaction hydronium ions react with hydroxide ions to produce what?

In a neutralization reaction, hydronium ions (H3O+) react with hydroxide ions (OH-) to produce water (H2O).


How are the concentrations of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions related?

The pH of a solution is related directly to its concentrations of hydronium ions(H3O^+) and hydroxide ions(OH-). Acidic solutions have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions. Neutral solutions have equal numbers of the 2 ions. Basic solutions have more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.


Is water an acid or base if it has less amount of hydroxide ions compared to hydronium ions?

It will be acidic having less amount of hydroxide ions.


What contain a positive charge hydronium ions hydroxide ions electrons or neutrons?

Hydronium Ions


Does water ionize to form hydroxide and hydronium ions?

Yes, water undergoes autoprotolysis to form small amounts of hydroxide (OH-) and hydronium (H3O+) ions. This process involves the transfer of a proton between two water molecules.


How does the amount of hydronium ions compare to the amount of hydroxide ions?

In a neutral solution, the amount of hydronium ions (H3O+) is equal to the amount of hydroxide ions (OH-), giving a pH of 7. However, in acidic solutions, there are more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions, leading to a pH less than 7. In basic solutions, there are more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions, resulting in a pH greater than 7.


Which ion increases in concentration when strong acid is added to water?

the excess hydronium reacts with hydroxide in water to form more water and reduce the amount of hydroxide present.


What is the difference between hydroxide ions and hydronium ions?

Their are hydroxyl ions not hydroxide ions. They are OH- . hydronium ions are H3O+ . Presence of hydroxyl ionsin a compound shows its basic nature whereas presence of hydronium ions in a compound shows its acidic nature .


An acid increases the hydroxide ion concentration of water?

This statement is incorrect. Acids increase the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) in water, not hydroxide ions (OH-). The presence of hydronium ions in solution decreases the pH of the water, making it more acidic.


What ion forms when water dissociates?

Water disassociates to form the OH- ion or the hydroxide ion, and the H3O+ ion, otherwise known as the hydronium ion.
