Hydronium ions are released when acid dissolves in water.
Solución
1. When an acid dissolves in water, it donates a proton (\( H^+ \)) to the water molecules.
2. The reaction between the proton and water is represented by
\[
H^+ + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+
\]
3. Thus, instead of releasing free, positively charged hydrogen atoms, the acid produces hydronium ions (\( H_3O^+ \)).
4. Therefore, the correct answer is
**(B) Hydronium ions are released.**
