Meaning
A Hydrogen ion, sometimes called a proton, is a positive ion of Hydrogen found in acid solutions.
About Hydrogen Ions
Foundation
- When an acid compound dissolves in water it forms Hydrogen ions.
- Hydrogen ions are responsible for the corrosive properties of acids.
Higher
- As the pH of a solution decreases by 1 the Hydrogen ion concentration increases by a factor of 10.
Examples
Some acids are so strong that all of the Hydrogen ions become dissociated from the rest of the compound.
- HCl(aq) → H+(aq)+Cl-(aq)
In many acids not all of the molecules will lose their Hydrogen ions and this process can be reversed leaving them in a state of equilibrium:
- H2SO4(aq) ⇌ H+(aq)+HSO4-(aq)
- HNO3(aq) ⇌ H+(aq)+NO3-(aq)
- H2CO3(aq) ⇌ H+(aq)+HCO3-(aq)
- H3PO4(aq) ⇌ H+(aq)+H2PO4-(aq)
- CH3COOH(aq) ⇌ H+(aq)+CH3COO-(aq)
