Question

Given the equation:

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option 2.

Explanation:

For the given options:

Option 1: Hydroxide ion

The chemical formula for this ion is $OH^-$

Option 2: Hydronium ion

The chemical formula for this ion is $H_3O^+$

Option 3: Hypochlorite ion

The chemical formula for this ion is $ClO^-$

Option 4: Perchlorate ion

The chemical formula for this ion is $ClO_4^-$

For the given chemical reaction:

$HCl(g)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3O^+(aq.)+Cl-(aq.)$

The ion represented by X is hydronium ion.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Answer 2

X will be hydronium (H3O)
