Hydroxonium acid is a very strong acid that is found in the human stomach!
it is there to help digest your food!
also it helps get rid of anything that is not meant to be there!
If you are asking yourself, would it burn/damage my organs?
The answer is no! This is because it is covered in a really thin skin that keeps it away from your organs!
But if you were to drink hydroxonium acid, it would burn the inside of your neck before it even gets to your stomach!
but there are very low chances of someone drinking hydroxonium acid!

What else can I help you with?
What is the conjugate acid for H20?
The conjugate acid of the water molecule is the hydroxonium ion.
Is h3o an example of a bronsted lowry base?
No, H3O+ is an example of a Bronsted-Lowry acid because it can donate a proton. A Bronsted-Lowry base would be a substance that can accept a proton.
Substance that releases hydrogen ions into an aqueous solution?
An acid, or proton donor, is a compound which produces H+ ions in solution. In an aqueous medium, hydrogen ion combines with a water molecule to form the hydroxonium ions. And there are only several acids that totally dissociate while dissolved in water. In contrast, bases accept hydrogen ions.
How are strong acids different from weak acids?
Acidity is simply a matter of hydrogen ions. Strong acids release more of them. That's a good second question. The first question you've got to ask is, "what's an acid?" You know we have "acids and alkalis" or "acids and bases" depending on what term your chemistry teacher likes. These days they mostly seem to like calling anything with a pH over 7 a base, so we'll use that. You're a worker at a chemical factory, and you are told to make some hydrochloric acid. Lots of money in hydrochloric acid, right? And all it is, is hydrogen chloride gas bubbled through water. Very easy to make. When you do it, the hydrogen starts looking around. It sees the water molecules over there being water molecules. They're havin' a good time. They're in hot tubs, water parks, fishing lakes. It's fun to be a water molecule. It's not much fun being a hydrogen chloride molecule. You gotta drag around this chlorine atom. No one likes a hydrogen chloride molecule--it pollutes the atmosphere, it eats the paint off people's cars, it's really smelly. Why would anyone want to be a hydrogen chloride molecule? So the hydrogen atom tells the chlorine atom to go away, joins up with a water molecule and becomes an entirely new compound--Hydroxonium! (Chemical formula: H3O.) I gotta tell ya, hydroxonium is kinda like the evil superhero of the chemical world. It can eat through things, leap tall buildings in a single bound, stop trains (well, if it eats through the tracks it can), all that stuff. Hydrogen atoms LIKE being part of hydroxonium. And water molecules like to become hydroxonium molecules. They get to stay up all night, hang out on the street corner, smoke cigarettes and sing "Gee Officer Krupke" when the cops come around to hassle them. They're like the Jets in West Side Story. (Your chem teacher ain't gonna accept this as the description of hydroxonium, so tell her it's got a pKa of -1.7 and is the most acidic thing that can possibly exist.) And as for the chlorine? Well...chlorine can tear up some stuff on its own, so it's just as happy to be rid of the hydrogen atom as it was to have it. This combination of two fairly nasty chemicals, hydroxonium and chlorine, makes hydrochloric acid so good at dissolving things. Okay, that's not QUITE how it goes, but you get the idea. Now as for this strong acid versus weak acid: A strong acid is one where all, or a majority of, the molecules of whatever it is you put in the water dissociate. If you put a mole of hydrogen chloride molecules in five moles of water, every hydrogen chloride molecule has the opportunity to cast off its bonds and become hydroxonium and free chlorine. If you put five moles of hydrogen chloride in one mole of water, of course, not all of the HCl will react...but that's not the HCl's fault, is it? You just haven't given the chemical the conditions it needs to fulfill its potential. A weak acid is one where the majority of the molecules do NOT dissociate. Acetic acid is a weak acid--CH3COOH. Note there's carbon in it; this is an "organic acid." Put this in water and you'll still get some hydroxonium...but you only need one of the four hydrogen atoms in the acetic acid to make hydroxonium, right? When that hydrogen atom at the end takes off, you're left with acetate--CH3COO. This is why they call acetic acid a weak acid--once the dissociation occurs, you've still got this huge molecule left to contend with. Normally, strong acids are really corrosive and weak acids aren't very corrosive--you eat a lot of weak acids, like acetic acid (vinegar), amino acids (proteins) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). There's one very special case: hydrofluoric acid, which they want you to call HF because "hydrochloric" and "hydrofluoric" sound a lot alike. HF is a weak acid--fluorine is extremely electronegative, so it's almost impossible for the hydrogen atom to leave it and become hydroxonium. But at the same time, HF is very corrosive--so corrosive it will eat glass, any metal except iridium, a lot of plastics...oh, and because fluorine would rather bond to calcium than to hydrogen, if you get enough of this on your skin it will pull the calcium out of your blood and kill you.
What is a substance which acts as both an acid and a base?
A substance that can act as both an acid and a base is called amphoteric. This means it can either donate or accept a proton, depending on the reaction conditions. Water is a common example of an amphoteric substance.
Is HBr a salt acid or base?
HBr is an acid. It gives hydroxonium ions and bromide ions when dissolving in water.
What is the conjugate acid for H20?
The conjugate acid of the water molecule is the hydroxonium ion.
Is h3o an example of a bronsted lowry base?
No, H3O+ is an example of a Bronsted-Lowry acid because it can donate a proton. A Bronsted-Lowry base would be a substance that can accept a proton.
Which is the correct term hydroxonium or hydronium?
Hydronium is the correct term. Hydra means water.
What ion is formed when hydrogen ion combines with water molecule?
Hydroxonium H3O+ ion is formed.

Does hydrogen not dissolve in water?
hydrogen gas dissolve in water to for hydroxonium H3O. Which is really a hydrogen ion 'riding' on a water molecule
What two ions are found in high concentrations in acids?
The two ions found in high concentrations of acid are hydrogen ion(H+ ) and hydroxonium ion(H3O+).
What is a substance which acts as both an acid and a base?
A substance that can act as both an acid and a base is called amphoteric. This means it can either donate or accept a proton, depending on the reaction conditions. Water is a common example of an amphoteric substance.
What is always true of a weak acid?
It will not dissociate 100% in water.
What ions cause an acid-base indicator to change?
Hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) cause an acid-base indicator to change color. In an acidic solution, there are more H+ ions present, causing the indicator to appear a certain color. In a basic solution, there are more OH- ions present, resulting in a different color being displayed by the indicator.
