Consider the following equilibrium: H2CO3+H2O = H3O+HCO3^-1. What is the correct equilibrium expression?

The answer to this is the 3rd choice!

A(apex

Electron equations of the given changes are as follow,a)                              cu      →      cu⁺²  + 2e⁻b)                              mg⁺²  +  2 e⁻      →      mgc)                              cl⁻    →      cl  +  1e⁻d)                              s  +  2 e⁻    →      s²⁻e)                                o²⁻      →      o  +  2 e⁻f)                              p  +  3 e⁻    →      p³⁻g)                              fe²⁺    →      fe³⁺  + 1 e⁻h)                              s²⁻    →      s⁴⁺  +  6 e⁻

Well you can immediately rule out a and d because if a metal were to lose or gain protons, then it would become a different element all together. the answer here is b because the positive symbol with a number refers to how many electrons the metal can give away to become stable.
