Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

It accepted a proton from HCl

Explanation:

When properly written, the equation box the reaction is given as; HCl(aq) + H2O(l) ----> H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq).

According to Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and bases, an acid donates protons while a base accepts protons.

Water molecule acts as a base in the reaction because it accepted a proton from HCl in the reaction above.

Holly has an unknown substance in a beaker. she wants to determine the relative ph of the unknown substance. she places a piece

AURORKA [14]

Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid. Therefore, it can be assumed that the substance in the beaker is an acid.

Acids have a pH level of less than 7. Consequently, it can be assumed that the substance has a pH level less than 7.

Which part is the anode of this voltaic cell?

Artist 52 [7]

The anode in a voltaic cell is the source of electrons so it is considered to be negative. The counterpart is the cathode, which is considered to be positive. If you look at the diagram the electron flow goes from A to B. This means that part A is the anode. Part B is the cathode. Part C and D is the electrolyte.

The answer therefore is the first option.
