Answer: is neither an acid nor a base
Explanation: Water is a universal solvent which means it can dissolve most of the substances in it.
Water has high thermal heat capacity , which means large heat is required to heat the water.
Water is not always pure as it gets contaminated by various pollutants present in the atmosphere such as gases, bacteria and suspended matter.
Water is an amphoteric substance which can act as both acid and base, thus can donate and acept [texH^+[/tex] ions.Thus it is neither an acid nor a base.

Here water is accepting a proton, thus it acts as base.

Here water is donating a proton, thus it acts as acid.
Two hydrogen and two oxygen multiply for two
It is a completely true statement that a <span>base increases the OH- ion concentration of water. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and the answer has actually come to your desired help.</span>
first we have to find the empirical formula of the compound
empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound
for 100 g of the compound
N O
mass 46.7 g 53.3 g
number of 46.7 g/ 14 g/mol 53.3 g/ 16 g/mol
moles = 3.34 mol = 3.33 mol
divide by the least number of moles
3.34/3.33 = 1.00 3.33/ 3,33 = 1.00
therefore number of atoms are
N - 1
O - 1
empirical formula is - NO
mass of empirical unit - 14 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 30 g
molecular formula is actual composition of elements in the compound
molecular mass - 60.01 g/mol
number of empirical units = molecular mass / empirical unit mass
= 60.01 g/mol / 30 g = 2
there are 2 empirical units
2(NO)
molecular formula = N₂O₂
