Question

What do you mean by autoprotolysis? Give the equation to represent the autoprotolysis

of water?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A self ionization of water molecules takes place to produce hydronium ion and hydroxide ion are known as auto-pyrolysis of water. 2H2O → H3O+ + OH− The reaction denotes the amphoteric nature of water. It can serve as a base, as well as an acid.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reaction between two water molecules to produce hydronium ion and hydroxide ion is known as autoprotolysis of water. This is self ionization of water. 2H2O→H3O++OH−
