What is produced when an acid reacts with water?

A. oxygen gas

B. hydronium ions

C. hydrogen gas

D. an indicator

acids are species that release H⁺ ions/protons. Hydrogen ions are also called protons since they have no electron and only proton.

When hydrogen ions are added to water - H₂O, oygen tends to donate one of its lone pairs to H⁺ which is electron deficient in the form of a dative bond.

thereby making a hydronium ion.

written as H₃O⁺.

when neutral H₂O donates an electron pair to H⁺, the overall charge of the ion becomes positive.

answer is B. hydronium ions

The answer is c. Is the correct answer
