NEET Chemistry Ionic Equilibrium MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing the ionization of water in a closed system at equilibrium. The diagram includes water molecules, hydronium ions, and hydroxide ions. Which label correctly represents the conjugate acid in this equilibrium?
H2O
OH–
H3O+
H2O2
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the equilibrium H2O + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + OH–, the H3O+ ion is the conjugate acid formed when water acts as a base and accepts a proton.
