Oct 25, 2015 · 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 …

Apr 9, 2014 · Also I found that the pKa of protonated methanol to be -2.2 Would H3O+ really be that much different from protonated methanol?

Jan 24, 2016 · 1 The pH is close to 7. So the hydronium ion concentration of water can't be neglected. [H3O+fro water + H3O+ from acid] [OH-]=10^-14 Please note that H2O dissociates …

5 This question already has answers here: What is the pKa of the hydronium, or oxonium, ion (H3O+)? (3 answers)

Jul 15, 2016 · I know as a fact that HCl is a stronger acid than H3O+, but I want to know the reason behind it. The definition of an acid is a substance which dissociates to give H3O+ ions. …

H3O+ is just the combination of a a $\ce {H+}$ ion, which we know to be released from the dissociation of an acid in an aqueous solution, with a water molecule.

Why does water dissociate to $\ce {H3O+ + OH-}$ instead of $\ce {H+ + OH-}$? This question came to surface when I was learning about acids and bases, and learned this definition:

Dec 1, 2012 · This is a bit touchy. The problem is that a bare proton, $\ce {H^+}$, won't exist in water. It attracts electrons too strongly. Once this was recognized, chemists started to write …

Draw the Lewis structure of hydronium (H3O+) and then determine its electron domain and molecular geometries.

Mar 22, 2018 · Is hydronium an electrophile or a nucleophile? I expected $\ce {H3O+}$ to be a nucleophile due to the presence of electrons in the $\ce {2p}$ orbitals of $\ce {O}$. But the …
