<u>Ans: A) HCl</u>

Neutralization reaction is one where an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water.

The given reaction is;

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

In general, an acid is the species which loses a proton i.e. H+ ion. Whereas base accepts a proton. Therefore the molecule where the proton count or the number of hydrogens decreases as the reaction proceeds can be identified as an acid.

Here, as the reaction progresses, HCl loses its hydrogen hence HCl is an acid i.e. hydrochloric acid.

NaOH, sodium hydroxide is a base

NaCl, sodium chloride is a salt.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction that we are considering here is quite a knotty reaction. It is difficult to decide if the mechanism is actually E1 or E2 since both are equally probable based on the mass of scientific evidence regarding this reaction. However, we can easily assume that the methylenecyclohexane was formed by an E1 mechanism.

Looking at the products, one could convincingly assert that the reaction leading to the formation of the two main products proceeds via an E1 mechanism with the formation of a carbocation intermediate as has been shown in mechanism attached to this answer. Possible rearrangement of the carbocation yields the 3-methylcyclohexene product.

Hydrogen is an element with two naturally occurring isotopes: 2 H and 3 H. This means that 2 H, which has a mass number of 2, ha
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

TRUE.

Explanation:

Mass Number is the sum of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopy is a phenonmenon that occurs when atoms of same elements have different mass number (Number of neutrons).

2H isotope has 1 proton and 1 neutron.

3H isotope has 1 proton and 2 neutrons.

This meeans 2H isotope has fewer neutrons when compared to the 3H isotope. The correct option is TRUE.

-BARSIC- [3]
Hello there!

The statement that Acid strength in a series of H-A molecules increases with increasing size of A is True.

When only the size is involved, increasing the size will increase the Acid strength because as size increases, the H-A bond will become weaker as the atoms will be farther apart. Acid strength is related to the ability to release H⁺ ions and a weaker H-A bond will release H⁺ more easily. 

Have a nice day!
