Chemistry · Ionic equilibrium: Weak and strong electrolytes, ionization of electrolytes
The above reaction is dissociation or ionization?
\( \boldsymbol{H}_{2} \boldsymbol{O} \longrightarrow \boldsymbol{H}^{+}+\boldsymbol{O} \boldsymbol{H}^{-} \) The above reaction is dissociation or ionization?
- A. Dissociation
- B. Ionization
- C. Both dissociation and ionization together
- D. None of these
Step-by-step solution
The reaction H2O → H+ + OH- involves water molecules breaking apart into ions, which is both dissociation (splitting of a molecule into smaller species) and ionization (formation of ions). Therefore, it is both processes occurring together.
