Answer:
By finding a chemical formula with H as a cation (positively charged ion), you can immediately know that the compound is an acid.

According to the Arrhenius Acid-Base Theory, acids are those substances that dissolved in water divide by generating H⁺ together with an anion (ion with a negative charge). In an aqueous solution, the H⁺ protons react immediately with the water molecules to form H₃O⁺ hydronium ions.
According to this theory, those acids that dissociate completely are strong acids (releasing all protons H⁺), while acids that do not dissociate completely are weak acids (the percentage of dissociation is not 100%, releasing few protons H⁺)
An example is:
HCl + H₂O ⇒ Cl⁻ + H₃O⁺
This is an example of a strong acid.
Answer: Titration is particularly useful if we want to find out the amount or concentration of a known acid or base in a given sample.
Explanation: Suppose you have just been handed a beaker containing a fixed volume of HCL solution. If you simply just know the volume of the solution, you can titrate it against a reagent (base) to figure out the exact concentration of the solution (also known as molarity)
The solution is placed in a flask for titration and a minute amount of indicator is then added into the flask. The reagent (base) is placed in a burette and slowly added to the solution and indicator mixture. The amount of reagent used is recorded when the indicator causes a change in the color of the solution. Using Stoichiometry, we are then able to calculate the concentration and moles of the HCL solution used up in the reaction.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C, that is, has an irritating odor and is colorless.
Explanation:
Sulfur dioxide refers to a gas. It has a nasty, sharp smell and is invisible. It associates with other components to produce harmful compounds like sulfurous acid, sulfuric acid, and sulfate particles. It is the chemical compound with the formula SO. At standard temperature, it is a toxic gas with an irritating and pungent smell. The gas is released naturally by the volcanic activity.
