<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.

The gases in the earth actually contain roughly 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.97% argon and carbon dioxide, 0.04% trace amounts of other gases, and water vapor. This combination of gases is commonly called air.

What is the balanced form of the chemical equation shown below?
Tanzania [10]
B. 1, 1, 1, 2
Explanation:
You only need to balance the NaNO3 on the right. Since there is 2 NO3 on the left, you need to put a 2 in front of the NaNO3 on the right. Everything else is already balanced so the only coefficient needed is 2 in front of the NaNO3.

CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3H2(g)
boyakko [2]
Presuming the arrow is between H20 and CO

On the left there are 2 gas moles.
On the right there are 4 gas moles.

The equilibrium will shift to the side with the most no. He gas moles when pressure is decreased.

Therefore the answer is A, since 4>2.
