Hydronium ion

... or Ka won't enter into it since you can assume that HCl will completely dissociate and that NH4OH will completely neutralize the excess protons (hydronium ions-if you prefer).

I can think like this: The pH of pure water is 7.0. It means that ions which compose water molecule (H+ and OH-) is combining altogeter forming ... of acid). This excessive H+ would bind (or get hydrated) become hydronium ions or another multimeric forms. But the point is that about the ...

I`m a little bit confused about "H+" notation. Why many books write H+ instead of hydronium H3O+? I know that H+ cannot exist by itself, it definitely bonds with another water molecule ...

... suitable medium for life. Here are my 5 properties of water: 1) it's a universal solvent (except for lipids) 2) can dissociate into hydroxide and hydronium 3) it's a polar molecule 4) its solid form is less dense than its liquid form (ice floats) 5) water has high specific heat Water is also adhesive/cohesive, ...
