Hydronium is a common Polyatomic Ion. Its chemical formula is $H_{3}O^{+}$ .

Hydronium is present in all aqueous solutions, as the acidic counterpart to the alkaline hydroxide ( $OH^{-}$ ). A hydronium ion will combine with a hydroxide ion to create two water ( $H_{2}O$ ) molecules. An imbalance will shift the pH down if hydronium is more dominant.
