Question

plz state which is correct among these and why?

H2O ⇌H^+1 + OH^-1

or

2H2O ⇌H3O^+1 + OH^-1



​

Answer 1

◆【Answer】◆

As we know that Hydrogen have one proton and one electron as well.

So if one electron is donated by the hydrogen atom than the resultant cation is know as Proton.

Proton = H+

H+ has no electron so in order to attain stability. H + need to accept two electron which is not possible for it

So H+ is very unstable in the solution

H+ can't exist on their So it accept one lone pair from the oxygen atom in H2O molecule and form

can't exist on their So it accept one lone pair from the oxygen atom in H2O molecule and formH3O+ Cation.

positive charge on H3O+ is on oxygen as it loose one pair pair of electron.

So Acc to me first is wrong because H+ can't exist

Second one is right because H+ can only exist as H3O+

H2O + H2O -------> (H+) + (OH-) + H2O

2H2O ---------> (H3O+) + OH-

Answer 2

Answer:

H2O ⇌H^+1 + OH^-1........
