H2C2O4, also written as (COOH)2, is Ethandioic acid, and, as evident by the name, is an acid, and not a base
Ca(OH)2 and KOH, Calcium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide, respectively, are bases when dissolved in water, as they are able to release OH- ions.
Hydrogen Iodide, HI, when dissolved in water, is a strong acid. So, that is also not a base.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Ca(OH)_2\text{ and }KOH

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acids are defined as the chemical species that produces hydrogen ions on dissolving in water.

Bases are defined as the chemical species that produces hydroxide ions on dissolving in water.

We are given:

Chemical compounds having chemical formulas CH_3COOH,Ca(OH)_2,KOH\text{ and }HI

CH_3COOH is an organic acid and it produces CH_3COO^-\text{ and }H^+ ions

Ca(OH)_2 is a base and it produces Ca^{2+}\text{ and }OH^- ions

KOH is a base and it produces K^{+}\text{ and }OH^- ions

HI is an acid because it produces H^+\text{ and }I^- ions

Hence, the correct answer is Ca(OH)_2\text{ and }KOH

Calculate the molality and van’t Hoff factor (i) for the following aqueous solutions:
MissTica

The van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.

<h3>What is the value of Van t Hoff factor?</h3>

For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the Van 't Hoff factor is essentially $ 1 $ . For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the Van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance.

<h3>Which has highest Van t Hoff factor?</h3>

The Van't Hoff factor will be highest for

   A. Sodium chloride.

   B. Magnesium chloride.

   C. Sodium phosphate.

   D. Urea.

CAM plants function using crassulacean acid metabolism. Like C4 plants, CAM plants provide preparatory step for the Calvin cycle
poizon [28]

Answer: ORGANIC ACIDS  

Explanation:

CAM PLANTS CARBOXYLATE ORGANICS ACIDS through the addition of  CO2 to PEP Carboxylase(  a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase enzyme present in the mesophyll cells of the cytoplasm in a green plant) to produce Oxaloacetate (organic compound).

CO2 + PEP  ⇒ C4H4O5 (oxaloacetate)

Oxaloacetate is then converted to a similar molecule, Malate (C4H6O5,  another form of organic compound) that can be transported in to the bundle-sheath cells. Malate enters the plasmodesmata and releases the CO2. The CO2 then fixed by rubisco and made into sugars via the Calvin cycle.
