| + | '''Hydronium''' is a [[polyatomic ion]] with [[chemical formula]] H<sub>3</sub>O<sup>+</sup>. It is often simplified to H<sup>+</sup> in writing chemical reactions. |
| | + | |
| | + | Hydronium is present in all aqueous [[solution]]s, as the [[acid]]ic counterpart to the [[alkaline]] [[hydroxide]] (OH<sup>-</sup>). A hydronium ion will combine with a hydroxide ion to create two [[water]] (H<sub>2</sub>O) [[molecule]]s. An imbalance will shift the [[pH]] down if hydronium is more dominant. |
