Answer:
B) any complex thing with properties normally associated with living things
Answer:
hypochlorite ion
Explanation:
The hypochlorous acid, HClO, is a weak acid with Ka = 1.36x10⁻³, when this acid is in solution with its conjugate base, ClO⁻ (From sodium hypochlorite, NaClO) a buffer is produced. When a strong acid as HCl is added, the reaction that occurs is:
HCl + ClO⁻ → HClO + Cl⁻.
Where more hypochlorous acid is produced.
That means, the HCl reacts with the hypochlorite ion present in solution
it is a molecule* that can be joined with other molecules that are identical to form a polymer*
key words :
a molecule:
a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
a polymer:
a substance that has a molecular structure consisting chiefly or entirely of a large number of similar units bonded together
hope this helped, good luck in future studies !
