Scientific would be the word to fill in the blank
This question comes with four answer choices:
<span>A. H2O + H2O ⇄ 2H2 + O2
B. H2O + H2O⇄ H2O2 + H2
C. H2O + H2O ⇄ 4H+ + 2O2-
D. H2O + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + OH-
Answer: option </span><span>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.
</span><span>In this, one molecule of H2O loses a proton (H+) (deprotonates) to become a hydroxide ion, OH−. Then, he <span>hydrogen ion, H+</span>, immediately protonates another water molecule to form hydronium, H3O+.

Ionic bonds are forces that hold together electrostatic forces of attractions between oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds have an electronegativity difference greater than or equal to 2. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity difference that is less than 2.
Answer is: a) in the presence of a base.
Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions.
Acid-base indicators are usually weak acids or bases and they are chemical detectors for hydrogen or hydronium cations.
Example for acid-base indicator is phenolphthalein (molecular formula C₂₀H₁₄O₄).
When solution turns phenolphthalein pink, it means it is basic (pH>7).
Well, an independent variable ids the thing that stays the same and a dependent variable is the thing that changes.
