Which of the following ion is stable in aqueous solution ?

Correct answer: C. Cl-

  • A. H+
  • B. H-
  • C. Cl-
  • D. All are stable

Explanation

Cl- is stable in aqueous solution because it is the conjugate base of a strong acid and is surrounded by hydrated water molecules without reacting significantly. The likely mistake is H+, but free H+ is represented in water as H3O+, and H- reacts rapidly with water to form H2 and OH-.

About Real and Ideal Gases

An ideal gas is modelled as particles with negligible volume and no intermolecular attraction, obeying Boyle's, Charles's and Avogadro's laws through PV = nRT. Real gases deviate from this behaviour, especially at high pressure and low temperature, because particle volume and attractive forces matter; the van der Waals equation explains these corrections.
