Subjective Type

Acids dissolve in water and produce positively charged ions. Draw the structure of these positive ions.

Solution

Acids are the species that dissociate in water to yield hydrogen ions or protons.

For example, HCl is a strong acid and its dissociation in water will be as follows.

$$ HCl + H_{2}O \rightarrow H_{3}O^{+} + Cl^{-} $$

Therefore, it means the structure of this positive ion will be a plus sign over a hydrogen atom or a plus sign over a molecule having three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that is, $$H_{3}O^{+} $$.
