6 0

Answer:

HCl

Explanation:

Some easy ways to identify if a compound is an acid is to locate an H+ proton, while basic compounds will have an OH- ion.

Examine all the choices:

A) NaOH

Already, we see that OH is here, so it's a base, not an acid. Eliminate.

B) NaCl

This doesn't have an H+ or an OH-, so it's not an acid. It's actually a salt. Eliminate.

C) HCl

This does have an H+, so it's an acid.

D) CH_4

Although this does have an H, it's a hydrocarbon - an organic compound. So, it's not an acid.

The answer is thus C.

4) When the plants and animals die, the carbon which is present inside their body is buried in the soil present at the bottom of the ocean and the shells and corels of some animals also contain carbon which is soon be the part of the lithosphere when they die.
