Answer: is neither an acid nor a base
Explanation: Water is a universal solvent which means it can dissolve most of the substances in it.
Water has high thermal heat capacity , which means large heat is required to heat the water.
Water is not always pure as it gets contaminated by various pollutants present in the atmosphere such as gases, bacteria and suspended matter.
Water is an amphoteric substance which can act as both acid and base, thus can donate and acept [texH^+[/tex] ions.Thus it is neither an acid nor a base.

Here water is accepting a proton, thus it acts as base.

Here water is donating a proton, thus it acts as acid.
Answer : The correct option is, (C) 1.1
Solution : Given,
Initial moles of
= 1.0 mole
Initial volume of solution = 1.0 L
First we have to calculate the concentration
.


The given equilibrium reaction is,

Initially c 0
At equilibrium

The expression of
will be,
![K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BNO_2%5D%5E2%7D%7B%5BN_2O_4%5D%7D)

where,
= degree of dissociation = 40 % = 0.4
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:



Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 1.1
"The solubility of gases decreases as temperature rises" statements about trends in solubility is accurate.
<u>Option: D</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
A substance's solubility is the quantity of that component that is needed at a defined degree of temperature to produce a saturated solution in any set quantity of solvent. Some compounds like hydrochloric acid, ammonia, etc have solubility that reduces with rising temperature. They are both standard-pressure gases.
When heating a solvent with a gas absorbed in it, both the solvent and the solute spike in the kinetic energy.When the gaseous solute's kinetic energy rises, the molecules have a higher propensity to overcome the solvent molecules' connection and migrate to the gas phase. Thus, a gas's solubility reduces with rising temperature.
