Answer:

Water is a polar solvent

Explanation:

We must know that pure dry hydrogen chloride gas does not show any acidic property.

In fact, when hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water, it breaks up into H3O^+ ions and Cl^- ions. This is possible because water is a polar solvent and assists the ionization of HCl.

In nonpolar solvents such as benzene, hydrogen chloride gas is not ionized hence it does not show any acidic property in a benzene solution.

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given question:

Explanation:

Since HN03 is an oxidation substance D-ribose u.ith oxidized to form in rubric acid Ribose is chiral, but rubric acid is achiral because of its symmetry mirror level, Hence no infrared roster in the sample holder is observed.

Please find the attached file.

D-Arabinose, on either hand, gives optical aldaric acid with such a net optical rotation observed inside the polarimeter for diagnosis with HN03.

What is a balanced equation for the neutralization of these two compounds? <br><br> HCl <br> Ca(OH)2

loris [4]

In order to balance this, you have to count each element where the elements in the reactants side and the product side should have equal number of molecules. The balanced reaction is as follows:

2HCl + Ca(OH)2 = CaCl2 + 2H2O
