This question comes with four answer choices:

A. H2O + H2O ⇄ 2H2 + O2

B. H2O + H2O⇄ H2O2 + H2

C. H2O + H2O ⇄ 4H+ + 2O2-

D. H2O + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + OH-

Answer: option D. H2O + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + OH-

(the +sign next to H3O is a superscript, as well as the - sing next to OH)

Explanation:

The self-ionization of water, or autodissociation, produces the two ions H3O(+) and OH(-). The presence of ions is what explain the electrical conductivity of pure water.

In this, one molecule of H2O loses a proton (H+) (deprotonates) to become a hydroxide ion, OH−. Then, he hydrogen ion, H+, immediately protonates another water molecule to form hydronium, H3O+.

Na₂SO₄ → 2Na⁺ + SO₄²⁻

c₁(Na⁺)=2c(Na₂SO₄)

n₁(Na⁺)=c₁(Na⁺)v₁=2c(Na₂SO₄)v₁

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

c₂(Na⁺)=c(NaCl)

n₂(Na⁺)=c₂(Na⁺)v₂=c(NaCl)v₂

n(Na⁺)=n₁(Na⁺)+n₂(Na⁺)=2c(Na₂SO₄)v₁+c(NaCl)v₂

v=v₁+v₂

c(Na⁺)=n(Na⁺)/v={2c(Na₂SO₄)v₁+c(NaCl)v₂}/(v₁+v₂)

c(Na⁺)={2*0.400*0.1+0.600*0.2}/(0.1+0.2)=0.667 mol/L

c(Na⁺)=0.667M
