<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’s the charge on the transition metal Ni3P?
MAXImum [283]
<h2>Answer:  +1</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Nickel is the transitional metal in the compound

The overall charge of the compound Ni₃P

    = the sum of the charges of element × the number number of atoms

<em />

<em>Because Ni₃P is a neutral compound, then the overall charge of the compound is zero.</em>

⇒  3 (charge of Ni) + (charge of P) = 0

⇒  3 (charge of Ni) = - (charge of P)          <em> [Redox Rules: Group 15 </em>

<em>                                                                        elements of -3.]</em>

⇒ 3 (charge of Ni)  = - (-3)

       (charge of Ni) =  + 1

Describe the motion of the water molecules as the vapor pressure increases?
zimovet [89]

Answer:  As for vapor pressure being higher at higher temperatures, when the temperature of a liquid is raised, the added energy in the liquid gives the molecules more energy and they have greater ability to escape the liquid phase and go into the gaseous phase.
