Question #6c9b8

Answer 1

`HO^(-) + H_3O^+ rightleftharpoons H_2O(l)`

Explanation:

The reaction is (i) balanced with respect to mass, and (ii) balanced with repsect to charge. The extent of reaction has been very precisely measured under standard conditions. How is the reaction quantified?

The `Na^+` and `Cl^-` counterions are simply along for the ride.
