Question

What happens to hydronium ion concentration while diluting an acid

Open in App

Solution

When an acid is diluted, then the concentration of hydronium ions decreases. This is because on dilution the overall volume of solution increases and so the number of hydronium ions per unit volume decreases.

Concentration of hydronium ions decreases.
