Which Statement Below Is True About the Relative Lifetime of a Hydrogen

Multiple Choice

Which statement below is true about the relative lifetime of a hydrogen bond,compared to the rate of water's ionization to hydroxide ions and hydronium ions?

A) The strength of hydrogen bonding makes its dissociation much slower than the ionization of water.
B) The rate of dissociation of a hydrogen bond is the same order of magnitude as the rate of ionization of water.
C) The two rates are linked in such a way that the more the water is ionized,the stronger and longer lasting hydrogen bonding will be.
D) The lifetime of a water molecule before it is ionized is about 109 greater than the lifetime of a hydrogen bond.
