Answer:

An acid because they donate H^+ ions

Explanation:

Let us look at the equation again;

H2SO3 + H2O « H3O+ + HSO3-

An acid donates hydrogen ion while a base accepts hydrogen ion. Hence, we have to look at which species that acted as hydrogen ion donors or acceptors.

We can clearly see that H2SO3 acted as a hydrogen ion donor while H2O acted as a hydrogen ion acceptor.

Thus, H2SO3  acted as an acid by donating hydrogen ions.

What does a bomb calorimeter do?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
It is a constant-volume type calorimeter that measures the heat of a particular reaction or measures the calorific value of the fuels. Bomb calorimeters are built in such a way that they can withstand the large pressure produced within the calorimeter due to the reaction or burning of fuel.

What are “condensation nuclei”?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Cloud condensation nuclei or CCNs are small particles typically 0.2 µm, or 1/100 the size of a cloud droplet on which water vapor condenses. Water requires a non-gaseous surface to make the transition from a vapour to a liquid; this process is called condensation.

You’ve been waiting for the bus and your hands become cold. When you get onto the bus and sit down, you put your hands under you
snow_tiger [21]

Explanation:

The <u>First Law of Thermodynamics</u> states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. In other words, energy can be converted from one form into another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.

<u>Conduction</u> is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, which can take place in solids, liquids, and gases.

When you put your cold hands under your legs to warm your hands up, the heat energy from your legs is being transferred to your hands through conduction. However, since energy cannot be created, there is no extra heat energy that can instantaneously replace the heat created by your legs.
