What ions are present when acid is dissolved in water?

Answer 1

When acids are added to water, they lose a proton (hydrogen ion). Contrary to popular belief, this proton does not simply exist on its own. Instead, it is bonded to another water molecule, forming a hydronium ion, H3O+.

Answer 2

Let's pour some Hydrochloric acid into water.

When writing equations for reacting acids, it is sometimes better to write H2O as HOH, since the acid donates an H^+1 to the solution.

HCl + HOH = H3O^+1 + OH^-1

H3O^+1 is a hydronium ion.

All acids start with H, and all acids produce hydronium ions when dissolved in water

Answer 3

When an acid is added to water it produces hydronium ion along with acid radical. Example= for hydrobromic acid

H2O + HBr ---> H3O+ + Br-

Answer 4

Mostly Hydronium(H3O+) cations and the anions of acid

Answer 5

H+
