Hydronium is a common Polyatomic Ion. Its Chemical formula is .
Hydronium is present in all aqueous solutions, as the acidic counterpart to the alkaline hydroxide (). A hydronium ion will combine with a hydroxide ion to create two water () molecules. An imbalance will shift the pH down if hydronium is more dominant.
