The reason pure water has a pH of 7 is that there is the same concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions on the self-ionization of water?

Is hydrogen oxide the same as hydrogen hydroxide?
Yes, those are both ways of describing water. The reason for the difference, is that to an inorganic chemist, the water molecule is the combination of hydrogen and oxygen, hence hydrogen oxide, whereas to an organic chemist, the water molecule is the combination of hydrogen and the hydroxide radical (which is composed of hydrogen and oxygen).
When water ionizes it produces equal amounts of hydrogen and hydroxide ions which can re associate with each other?
Yes, due to same reason water is neutral and its pH value is 7.
What is the pH of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and water solution?
Since the dissociation constant for hydrogen peroxide is 2.4 x 10^-12 (very very small) if only a 3% concentration were to be mixed with water the pH would be negligible. However the main reason Hydrogen peroxide stings when you spill or pour it on a cut to disinfect it is because of its fairly high reactivity.
Does a metallic element form an acid or base when it reacts with water?
Usually a metallic element will not react with water and so will not change pH. However, a highly reactive metal, such as sodium, potassium or calcium will react with water to form the corresponding metal hydroxide, and so forms a base.
Can Hydrogen explode on its own?
Yes, when hydrogen explodes it produces water.
Is hydrogen oxide the same as hydrogen hydroxide?

What is true about the relative concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in an acid solution?
In an acidic solution, the relative concentration of hydronium ions will always be higher than hydroxide ions. This means that the relatively concentration of hydroxide ions will always be lower than hydronium ions in an acidic solution. The reason for this is that in a neutral solution, the concentration of both hydronium ions and hydroxides ions are equal (both are 10-7). By making the concentration of hydronium ions greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions, the solution becomes acidic.
What is the smallest element and its reason?
Hydrogen. It's reason is to be Hydrogen.
When water ionizes it produces equal amounts of hydrogen and hydroxide ions which can re associate with each other?
Yes, due to same reason water is neutral and its pH value is 7.
Why is the overall charge of a water molecule 0?
The reason why the overall charge of a water molecule is zero is because the number of positive hydrogen ions and the number of negative hydroxide ions are equal, so they cancel each other out.
When a solution has more H ions than OH- ions is it an acid or base?
base because basic solutions can decompose to hydroxide ions when hydrogen is in a solution it is an acid for the same reason. hope that helps!
Main reason of the concentration camps?
Hitler.
Why Barium hydroxide is Soluble in water reason in brief?
I think both are chemicals
What is the reason of naming hydrogen?
its a gas
Why is sodium hydroxide used in hydroxide tests?
For the simplest reason of all: it's the easiest, most cost-effective hydroxide to get. It's called lye and every grocery store in America has it for a really cheap price.
What is the reaction with bases in lithium?
the acid reacts with basis in a neutralization reaction in which the hydrogen ions donated by an acid react with the hydroxide ions donated by the base product a neutral product called water which is a reason why this reaction is known as a neutralization reaction =P
