If hydrogen gas diffuses into water, will the hydrogen ions attach to oxygen in water to form H2O molecules? Therefore making the solution neutral again?

Question

nope, H2 just like that cant  react with O2 (present in water) to form H2O,
it needs high energy .

So water will be acidic after hydrogen gas difussed into it?

chmvijay · Answer

its H2 gas and not H+ ions :)

anonymous · Answer

But won't Hydrogen Gas dissociate after diffusing into water to form H+ ions?

chmvijay · Answer

nope it cant dissociate so easily :)

anonymous · Answer

Hydrogen gas will still remain hydrogen gas even if diffused in water?

chmvijay · Answer

yup like Oxygen gas which is called dissolved oxygen :) now for ur case we can say it dissolved H2 gas :P
