Answer:(4) ----accepts a proton
Explanation:
H2O water can produce both hydrogen and hydroxide ions
H2O --> H+ + OH-
According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, it can be a proton donor and a proton acceptor.this means that It can donate a hydrogen ion to become its conjugate base, or can accept a hydrogen ion to form its conjugate acid,
When , a water molecule, H2O accepts a proton it will act as a Brønsted-Lowry base especially when dissolved in a strong acidic medium. for eg
HCl + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)
Here, Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and ionizes completely in water, since it is more acidic than water, the water will act as a base.
Generally, chemists prefer to use morality (B) because it only invovles measuring the final volume of the solution and amount of moles of the solute

Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The concentration of
that should used originally is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The necessary elementary step is

The time taken for sixth of 0.5 M of reactant to react 
The time available is 
The desired concentration to remain
Let Z be the reactant , Y be the first product and X the second product
Generally the elementary rate law is mathematically as

Where k is the rate constant ,
is the concentration of Z
From the elementary rate law we see that the reaction is second order (This because the concentration of the reactant is raised to power 2 )
For second order reaction

Where
is the initial concentration of Z which a value of 
From the question we are told that it take 9 hours for the concentration of the reactant to become


So


=> 
For
