So, water reacts with hydrochloric acid in the following formula

H2O + HCl —-> H3O+ + Cl-

We can visualize that when the two react, the hydrogen ions is taken on by the water molecule. This satisfies one of the definitions for a base

Bronsted acids = anything that donates a proton (H+ ion)

Bronsted bases = anything that accepts a proton (H+ ion)

So, as we can see, that is exactly what is happening. The Cl- and H+ detach and then the water takes on that extra H+.

H3O+ is what we call a hydronium ion

The orbital period of planet Venus is 0.62 years. What is its distance from the sun?
Vikki [24]

Kepler's third law shows the relationship between the orbital period of an object and the distance between the object and the object it orbits.

The simplified version of this law is: P^2 = a^3

Where,

P = period of the orbit in years = 0.62 years

a = average distance from the object to the object it orbits in AU. The astronomical unit AU is a unit of length which is roughly equivalent to the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Therefore calculating for a:

0.62 ^ 2 = a ^ 3

a = 0.62 ^ (2/3)

a = 0.727 AU = 0.72 AU

Therefore we can interpret this as: The distance from Venus to the Sun is about 72% of the distance from Earth to Sun.

<span>Answer: B. 0.72 AU</span>
