Electrovalency in Chemical Reactions
Electrovalency is used to help balance equations describing chemical reactions. In the following equation, hydronium and hydroxide combine to form water:
H3O+ + OH− → 2H2O0 One can see that the one positively charged hydronium molecule and one negatively charged hydroxide molecule have formed water which has an electrovalency of zero.
