Explanation:
Self-ionization of water is defined as the reaction where a water molecule deprotonates in order to change into a hydronium ion and hydroxide ion.
For example, [tex]H_{2}O + H_{2}O \rightarrow H_{3}O^{+} + OH^{-}[/tex]
So, here hydroxide ion ([tex]H_{3}O^{+}[/tex]) is formed along with the formation of hydroxide ion, that is, [tex]OH^{-}[/tex].
Thus, we can conclude that the equation [tex]H_{2}O + H_{2}O \rightarrow H_{3}O^{+} + OH^{-}[/tex] correctly expresses the self-ionization of water.
