Question

3) Acid molecule contains______ ion as a main constituent.

Answer 1

Answer:

h+ ions

Explanation:

Acid molecule contains H+ions as a main constituent.

Answer 2

Acid molecule contains $H^{+}$ ion as the main constituent.

Salt is made up of cations and anions. Whenever we hydrolise a salt it has one acidic part and one basic part.

Any substance that releases Hydrogen ions on hydrolysis is called an acid.

Consider the following example:

On self hydrolysis of Water ($H_{2} O$) molecule, we get-

$H_{2}O$ ⇒ $H^{+} + OH^{{-}$

• In the above equation $H^{+}$ is the acidic part.

• $OH^{-}$ is the basic part.
• Therefore $H_{2}O$ is a salt with a basic and an acidic part with Ph 7.
