Answer 1

Answer:

For 3: The correct answer is Option A.

For 4: The correct answer is Option C.

For 5: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

• For 3:

There are 2 types of solutions on the basis of pH.

An acid is defined as the chemical substance which looses hydrogen ions in a solution.

A weak acid does not completely dissociates into its ions but a strong acid completely dissociates into its ions when dissolved in water.

A base is defined as the chemical substance which looses hydroxide ions in a solution.

A weak base does not completely dissociates into its ions but a strong base completely dissociates into its ions when dissolved in water.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

• For 4:

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

For the given chemical equation:

$H_2O+HCl\rightarrow H_3O^++Cl^-$

$H_2O$ is considered as a bronsted-lowry base because it is accepting hydrogen ion to form hydronium ion

HCl is considered as a bronsted-lowry acid because it is donating hydrogen ion to form chloride ion.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

• For 5:

Neutralization reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.

$HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O$

For the given options:

Option A:

The chemical equation follows:

$NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4Cl$

This is an example of neutralization reaction because ammonia is considered as a base and when it reacts with HCl, it leads to the production of salt.

Option B:

The chemical equation follows:

$NaOH+CH_3COOH\rightarrow CH_3COONa+H_2O$

This is an example of neutralization reaction.

Option C:

The chemical equation follows:

$2HNO_3+Ca(OH)_2\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2+2H_2O$

This is an example of neutralization reaction.

Option D:

The chemical equation follows:

$H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4$

This is an example of double displacement reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
