Best Answer

Water is made up primarily of neutral water molecules, H2O. However, these molecules can undergo an autoprotolysis reaction, creating hydronium (H3O+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions. Note that sometimes the hydronium ions are simply represented as H+, but this notation is not strictly correct, as free hydrogen ions do not exist in aqueous solution.

H20 consists of what ions?

Water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Water can exist as two separate ions: a proton (H+) and a hydroxyl ion (OH-). At neutral pH, water has an equal number of both of these ions. If the water is basic, that means there are more hydroxyl ions than protons. Conversely if the water is acidic, there are more protons that hydroxyl ions.


Is table salt made up of two ions?

Yes. It is made up of Na+ ions and Cl- ions.


What is the product of H3O plus and OH- concentrations in water?

The concentration of hydronium ions in pure water can be thought of as the concentration of H+ ions in water. Since the pH of pure water is 7 and pH is -log(concentration of H+ ions). This means that there are 10^-7 M of H3O+ ions in pure water.


How many ions are there in two moles of water?

None. A water molecule is made up of three atoms covalently bonded. Occasionally, however, a water molecule will separate into H+ ans OH- ions.

What does water release when it dissociates?

Because of the polarity of water which causes one or two or more substances to break apart due to the unbalance of electrons in H20, which is actually neutral.

How exactly does a water softener soften my water?

When calcium and magnesium build up in our water, it tends to make the water "hard." A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium and replaces it with sodium, which reduces the waters hardness. Metal ions, such as calcium and magnesium, that build up in water can react with soaps or detergents, creating a hardening effect of the water. This limits the cleaning effect of some soaps and can create build up in pipes. A water softener sends the water through an ionic exchange, where the hardness ions are replaced by sodium ions, reducing the hardness effect.


Do ions make up nonliving things?

The answer is unknown but they can engage in reactions that leave insoluble mineral deposits. These deposits can make hard water... and i have no idea what that means


What substances give up hydrogen ions when dissolved in water?

Acids. They dissociate in water/aqueous solutions to from hydrogen ions (and the corresponding anion).
