<u>Answer:</u>

A)

<u>Solution:</u>

Adding a strong acid such as HCl to water results in the release of H+ ions.  

Arrhenius Theory: An acid is a substance which produces one or more hydrogen ions, (H+) in aqueous solution.

<u>Examples:</u>

HCl(aq)>(aq)H^+Cl^-(aq)

(H+) from the acid binds to neutral water molecules to form H_3O^+ raising the concentration of H+.  

The resulting large concentration of (H+) makes the solution more acidic and leads to a dramatic drop in the pH.

B)

<u>Solution :</u>

An acid is a substance which produces one or more hydrogen ions, (H+) in aqueous solution.

Examples:

HCl(aq)>(aq)H^+Cl^-(aq)

So, HCl is an acid.

C)

<u>Solution : </u>

A Base is a substance which produces one or more hydroxyl ion or hydroxide ion (OH-) in aqueous solution.

Examples :

KOH(s)> K^+(aq) +OH^-(aq)\\\\Ca(OH)_2(s)>Ca^{2+}(aq)  +2OH^- (aq)\\\\Al(OH)_3(s)> Al^{3+}(aq)+ 3OH^- (aq)

Please note: (aq) stands for aqueous which means in the presence of water that is, water acts as a solvent

The release of OH- ions makes the solution more basic and this leads to an increase in pH of the solution  

D)

<u>Solution:</u>

A Base is a substance which produces one or more hydroxyl ion or hydroxide ion (OH-) in aqueous solution.

Examples

KOH(s)> K^+(aq) +OH^-(aq)\\\\Ca(OH)_2(s)>Ca^{2+}(aq)  +2OH^- (aq)\\\\Al(OH)_3(s)> Al^{3+}(aq)+ 3OH^- (aq)

Please note: (aq) stands for aqueous which means in the presence of water that is, water acts as a solvent

So, NaOH is a Base.

What is thermal energy transfer?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Heat is a measure of the flow of thermal energy from one object or substance to another. ... Thermal energy typically flows from a warmer material to a cooler material. Generally, when thermal energy is transferred to a material, the motion of its particles speeds up and its temperature increases.
