Question

1.Write the equation for the dissociation and re-formation of water

Expert Solution

Step 1

In the dissociation of water, a water molecule (H2O) splits into a hydrogen ion (H+) and a hydroxide ion (OH-). This process is also known as "ionization" and occurs in aqueous solutions, or solutions where water is the solvent.

The re-formation of water involves the combination of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) to form a water molecule (H2O). This reaction is the reverse of the dissociation of water.
