Answer:

C. Corrosive waste

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is formed when hydrogen chloride gas is dissolved in water. The gas is toxic when inhaled and dissolves very readily in water to form the acid.

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid as it ionizes completely in aqueous solutions to produce chloride ions and hydronium ions.

The concentrated acid is very corrosive in that it dissolves many other substances. Therefore, great care must be taken when handling the concentrated form of the acid.

It poses an environmental hazard due to its corrosive nature. Also, in industries and science laboratories, concentrated hydrochloric acid can corrode metal pipes and should not be drained into pipes without first being diluted.

However, the acid is very important in many industrial as well as laboratory procedures.

Anouk does 150 J of work using a hammer to pull a nail out of a piece of wood, and the hammer does 105 J of work on the nail. Wh

astraxan [27]

The efficiency of any machine is given by:

efficiency = output obtained / input given

Substituting the values,
Efficiency = 105 / 150
Efficiency = 0.7

Converting this to a percentage, the efficiency of the hammer is 70%.
This is a fairly high efficiency, and this is due to the fact that the hammer is a simpler machine. The more complex a machine is, the greater are the losses in it due to friction, meaning there is a lower efficiency.
