The characteristic ions present in the water solutions of acids are hydronium ions.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ions are nothing but the oxidized or reduced state of any element in the periodic table. If an element loses electrons or if it gains electrons, then that element will be termed as ion instead of atoms. Water is composed of hydrogen [H⁺] ion and hydroxide ion [OH⁻] ion.

When water is mixed with acids, then H₂O will get combine with OH⁻ group leading to the formation of hyronium ion H₃O⁺ ion. So every acid when dissolved in water solution, they will be forming hydronium ion.

Thus, the characteristic ions present in water solutions of acids are hydronium ions.

Answer: The above statement is true

Explanation:

Mannitol salt agar is a medium which contain high concentration of salt,about 7.5%-10%. It is commonly used as a selective and differential growth medium.Because of its high concentration of salt,it inhibits growth if non halophiles(as they only grow best in media containing less tha 0.2M salts). If the bacteria can ferment mannitol,an acidic byproduct is formed which turns phenol red agar into yellow.So only those bacteria grow well which can ferment mannitol.
