Question

Are H+ (aq) and H3O+ (aq) ions same?

Answer 1

Answer:

• The H3O+ ion is considered to be the same as the H+ ion as it is the H+ ion joined to a water molecule.
• The proton cannot exist in aqueous solution, due to its positive charge it is attracted to the electrons on water molecules and the symbol H3O+ is used to represent this transfer.
