Yes h20 can act as an acid or a base depending, if h20 donates a proton it will be a Bronsted lowery acid. If h20 accepts a proton it will be a Bronsted Lowry base. Hope that helps

bulgar [2K]
This question can be easily confused with. During the early times, organic compound are directly associated with living beings, people, plants and animals. That is somewhat true. The definition of organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon. So, it is true that most of the compounds in our body are organic. But you may confuse it to the abundance of elements in the body, which is oxygen. However, the most abundant element, besides carbon, in organic compounds is Hydrogen. You will notice this obviously in the organic compounds like alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, carbohydrates, lipids, hormones and proteins. Their general chemical formula usually involves Carbon and Hydrogen.

Dvinal [7]

Answer: D) More moles of ions are present in a given volume of 0.10 M Na_2SO_4 than in the same volume of 0.10 M NaCl.

Explanation:

A electrolyte is a solution that dissociates completely when dissolved in water. The ions act as good conductors of electric current in the solution.

More is the number of ions , more will be the conductance and hence the solution will be a better conductor of electricity.

0.10 M aqueous solution of Na_2SO_4 is a better conductor of electricity as it dissociates to give three ions whereas 0.10 M aqueous solution of NaCl dissociates to give two ions only.

Na_2SO_4\rightarrow 2Na^++SO_4^{2-}

NaCl\rightarrow Na^++Cl^{-}

Thus 0.10 M aqueous solution of sodium sulfate, Na_2SO_4 , is a better conductor of electricity as more moles of ions are present in a given volume of 0.10 M Na_2SO_4 than in the same volume of 0.10 M NaCl
