The term \( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \) refers to the hydronium ion, which is formed when a proton (H⁺) is added to a water molecule (H₂O). This ion plays a crucial role in acid-base chemistry.
In aqueous solutions, when acids dissolve in water, they release protons (H⁺), which then associate with water molecules to form the hydronium ion (\( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \)). The presence of hydronium ions in a solution is what makes it acidic.
In summary, \( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \) represents the form of hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution and is a key concept in understanding pH and acidity.
