Question

Ionisation of acidified water results in formation of hydroxyl and hydronium ions. Explain.​

Answer 1

Ello user !!!!!!!

Here is your answer,

==============================================

Water is a poor conductor of electricity, but it does contain some hydrogen ions , H +, and hydroxide ions, OH -.

These ions are formed when a small proportion of water molecules naturally dissociate .

H + ions are attracted to the cathode , gain electrons and form hydrogen gas.

This results in formation of hydroxyl and hydronium ions.

===============================================

HOPE THIS HELPS YOUU :)

AND STAY BLESSED.

Answer 2

water act as both acid and base and is said to be amphoteric, hence on electric conductivity , it dissociates as ,2 H2O----->H3O+ +. OH_.
