Water behaves as a base in this reaction.
The Bronsted-Lowry definition is applied, because the reaction involves the transfer of H+ from one reactant to the other.
A Bronsted-Lowry base is defined as a substance that accepts a proton.
Because water gains a proton to form H3O+ in this particular reaction, it acts as a base
Phosphoric acid<span>, also known as orthophosphoric acid or phosphoric(V) acid, is a mineral acid with the chemical formula </span><span>H3PO4</span>
Answer:
A) An ionic compound dissolved in a polar solvent
Explanation:
Potassium Chloride's chemical formula is KCl. Most ionic compounds are formed between a nonmetal and a metal. In this case, potassium is acting as the metal and chloride is the nonmetal. Water is a polar solvent due to the electronegativity of the oxygen in the molecule creating a partial negative pole, leaving the hydrogen atoms partially positive. Hence, A is your best answer.
If I helped, a brainliest would be greatly appreciated!
