Emery Owen · Answer 1

H2O molecules, H + ions, and OH - ions.

Explanation:

The chemical formula of water is H2O, thus it is, made up of two atoms hydrogen and oxygen. Based on this chemical formula it can be inferred that in pure water there should be only two kinds of ions present - hydrogen and hydroxide ions i. e H + and OH-. Therefore, the chemist hired by the pharmaceutical company to analyze the purity of water for drug preparations should only find water molecules i. e H20 molecules in his analysis and H + ions, and OH - ions.
