Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason of using ions H+andH3O+ interchangeably in equations is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

In equations of ionization of acid in aqueous medium, both are used interchangeably. It is based on ionic interactions.

Answer to Problem 61A

Hydrogen ions exist as H3O+ cluster in aqueous medium. Towrite it in simplified form it is written as H+

Explanation of Solution

H+ is electron deficient species which is present on water. In water, oxygen of water carries lone pair of electrons so it donates its electrons and gets hydrated and exists as H3O+ even also as H5O2+, H7O3+ ions.

Conclusion

Thus, H+ exist as H3O+ cluster in aqueous medium. Towrite it in simplified form it is written as H+
