Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:


H2O + HCl ==> H3O+ + Cl-

According to one acid-base theory, the H2O molecule

(1) accepts H+ ions (3) donate H+ ions

(2) accepts OH- ions (4) donates OH- ions

Verified Answer :

pyromorphite

(1) accepts H+ ions..................

The statement, that describes acid-base theory in which the H2O molecule is "accepts \(H^{+}\) ions."

What is an acid-base theory?

An acid is a compound that accepts a pair of electrons. A base is a generator of electron pairs. This is the broadest theory of acids and bases. Water can serve as both an acid and a base in solution, and it can also be both an acid and a base to itself. Water takes hydrogen ions and behaves as a base when coupled with an acid. When water is combined with a base, it gives hydrogen ions and so behaves as an acid. Using the balanced equation, the water molecule acts a acid which accepts  the hydrogen ion. to form hydronium ion.

Hence the correct option is 1.
