What is the pKa of the hydronium, or oxonium, ion (H3O+)?
Apr 9, 2014 · There is the problem of having 55.56 molar hydronium re its counterion being included. Consider water azeotropes of strong acids not by wt-% but by mole ratio. Is there anything …
acid base - Is it the hydronium ions or the H+ ions that makes the ...
Jan 22, 2025 · Hydronium is a simplification but it is accurate that pure protons don't exist. Furthermore, hydrogen ions freely move - through Grotthuss Mechanism, they bind to a water to form hydronium, …
Can pure hydronium exist? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Oct 18, 2023 · Can pure hydronium exist? If not, why not? It seems to me (and I am no chemistry expert) like pure hydronium should have the theoretical maximum acidity or minimum pH that a …
Is hydronium an electrophile, nucleophile, both or neither?
Mar 22, 2018 · Below is an arrow-pushing mechanism depicting the deprotonation of hydronium. *Note that the oxygen of α-Methylbenzyl alcohol is acting as the nucleophile to attack a hydrogen atom of …
Water: What to use H3O+ or H+? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Oct 25, 2015 · In all cases, acids yield protons ( or hydronium ions H3O+) and bases yield OH- (hydroxide) ions in aqueous solutions. The H3O+ ion is considered to be the same as the H+ ion as it …
How to calculate Ka for hydronium and Kb for hydroxide?
For hydronium: $$\ce {K_a = \frac { [H^+] [H_2O]} { [H_3O^+]}}$$ and the source of the proton in question is not likely water (normally a stronger mineral acid). If you put the water on both sides of …
enthalpy of formation of hydronium - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Nov 30, 2021 · Since aqueous hydronium and aqueous hydrogen ions are the same, we expect these two reactions to have the same reaction enthalpy. And since aqueous hydrogen ions have an …
Physical state of hydronium - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Dec 1, 2012 · I am doing my chemistry homework and I am supposed to write the products when strong acids react with water, but I am unsure of the physical state for hydronium ions. Should it be liquid (l) …
My textbook writes hydronium ion as [H(H2O)]+, is this correct?
Feb 8, 2024 · Hydronium and Hydroxyl Ions Hydrogen ion by itself is a bare proton with very small size (~ $\pu { {e-15} m}$ radius) and intense electric field, binds itself with the water molecule at one of …
acid base - Why does a proton react with water to form hydronium ion ...
Dec 16, 2020 · H+ 'reacts' with H2O to form the hydronium because the oxygen in the water molecule has a lone pair of electrons that attracts the H+ ion. Why does it have an overall positive charge? It is …
