If you have an aqueous solution that contains 1.5 moles of HCl, the number of moles of ions in the solution is 3.0 moles.
<h2>Further Explanation
</h2><h3>Strong acids </h3>
- Strong acids are types of acids that undergo complete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
- Examples of such acids are, HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3
- Dissociation of HCl
HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
<h3>Weak acids </h3>
- Weak acids are types of acids that undergo incomplete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
- Examples of such acids are acetic acids and formic acids.
- Dissociation of acetic acid
H₃COOH ⇔ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺; CH₃COO⁻ is a conjugate base of acetic acid.
<h3>In this case;</h3>
- HCl which is a strong acid that ionizes completely according to the equation;
HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
- From the equation, 1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of H₃O⁺ ions and 1 mole of OH⁻ ions.
Therefore;
1.5 moles of HCl will produce;
= 1.5 moles of H₃O⁺ ions and 1.5 moles of OH⁻ ions.
This gives a total number ions of;
= 1.5 + 1.5
= 3 moles of ions

The correct is D.
Water is a polar molecule and it has polar bonds, which carry partially positive and partially negative charges. This polar bond increases the attraction between molecules of water and thus it requires a greater energy to break the bond between the molecules of water compare to carbon dioxide, which is a non polar molecule. Thus, water has a higher boiling point than carbon dioxide.

Explanation:
Carbon dioxide isn't a polar molecule because
same nature of charge appears in opposite direction which cancel each other. So, carbon dioxide is non-polar molecule.
