What is the reaction given below, called ?
`H_(2)O_((l)) + H_(2)O_((l)) hArr H_(3)O_((aq))^(+) + OH_((aq))^(-)`

A

Hydrolysis of water

B

Hydration of water

C

Disproportionation of water

D

Auto - protolysis of water

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The reaction in which two molecules of the same species react to give ions by proton transfer is known as auto-protolysis or self ionisation. In this reaction, proton from one `H_(2)O` molecule is transferred to another `H_(2)O` molecule.
`H_(2)O_((l))+H_(2)O_((l))hAtt H_(3)O_((aq))^(+)+OH_((aq))^(-)`
