Question

What is the reaction given below, called? H2O(l) +H2O(l) leftharpoons H3O+(aq) +OH-(aq) (A) Hydrolysis of water (B) Hydration of water (C) Disproportionation of water (D) Auto-protolysis of water

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The reaction in which two molecules of the same species react to give ions by proton transfer is known as auto-protolysis or self ionisation. In this reaction, proton from one

H_{2} O

molecule is transferred to another

H_{2} O

molecule.

H_{2} O_{(l)} + H_{2} O_{(l)} ⇌ H_{3} O +_{(a q)} + O H_{(a q)}^{-}

Q. What is the reaction given below, called? H2​O(l)​+H2​O(l)​⇌H3​O+(aq)​+OH(aq)−​

Hydrolysis of water

Hydration of water

Disproportionation of water

Auto-protolysis of water

Q. What is the reaction given below, called?
$H_{2} O_{(l)} + H_{2} O_{(l)} ⇌ H_{3} O +_{(a q)} + O H_{(a q)}^{-}$
