Which statement concerning the hydrated hydrogen ion is incorrect? (a) Although we often represent hydrogen ions as bare protons
(H+), we know they are hydrated in aqueous solutions. (b) It is now known that hydrogen ions exist as H+(H2O)n where n is a small integer. (c) The value of n for H+(H2O)n can be calculated for almost all solutions. (d) The hydrated hydrogen ion is the species that gives aqueous solutions of acids their characteristic acidic properties. (e) The hydrogen ion is often represented in equations by H+(aq), H3O+, or even H+.
