They are Acids
when acids are in water they dissociate and release H+ ions into the water
while bases release OH- ions
hope that helps
<span> The nuclear reactor powers plants to inhale heats that are needed to create/produce steam- (a gas that comes from liquid at its boiling point) The process is called fission. Fission entails the splitting on atoms in the nuclear reactor.

Answer:
The reaction is exothermic (option 4)
Explanation:
P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 + 712 kcal
In chemical reactions heat can be absorbed or released:
⇒in the first case, when heat is absorbed, this is called an endothermic reaction. The products have more energy than the reactants. The reaction requires or absorbs energy from it's surroundings. That means that in this reaction energy , in the form of heat, will be absorbed by the reactants.
⇒ when heat is released, this is called an exothermic reaction. The reactants have more energy than the products. The reaction gives or releases energy to it's surroundings. That means that in this reaction energy , in the form of heat, will be released by the reactants.
in the case of P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 + 712 kcal
We notice that on the right side, which is the product side, there is a positive amount of energy. This means that the energy is released by the the reactants, in this reaction. <u>The reaction is exothermic.</u>
