Question

Examine the following reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is either Neutralization or Acid Dissociation

Explanation:

I took the test and selected both and got it partially correct, so that means one of them has to be right. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Answer 2

Answer: acid dissociation

Explanation:

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

For the given chemical equation:

$HBr+H_2O\rightarrow H^+(aq.)+Br^-(aq.)$

Here, $HBr$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and the reaction is acid dissociation.

Hydroium ion is $H_3O^+$

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

$HA+BOH\rightarrow H_2O+BA$

Thus the reaction is acid dissociation.
