what actually is left over of water once it self ionizes? Like what exactly are the hydrogen and hydroxide ions? Do they remain
GrogVix [38]
The formula for the self ionization of water is 2H₂O(l)⇄H₃O⁺(aq)+OH⁻(aq)

The hydronium (H₃O⁺) is usually just referred to as a hydrogen ion or a proton (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) doesn't have another name that I am aware of.  These ions do stay in solution.  However the concentrations are really small and the equilibrium constant (K(w)) is 1×10⁻¹⁴.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
