Answer:
C. Degree of ionization
Explanation:
The strength of an acid or a base is determined by how many H+/H3O+ or OH- ions are dissociated in solution. Therefore, it's describing the degree of ionization.
Example: HCl is a strong acid because in water it will pretty much 100% dissociate into H+ and Cl- ions.
Anaerobic transformations of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), 1,1-dichloroethane (DCA), and chloroethane (CA) were studied with sludge from a lab-scale, municipal wastewater sludge digester. TCA was biologically transformed to DCA and CA and further to ethane by reductive dechlorination. TCA was also converted to acetic acid and 1,1-dichloroethene (11DCE) by cell-free extract. 11DCE was further biologically converted to ethene. This pathway was confirmed by transformation tests of TCA, DCA and CA, by tests with cell-free extract, and by chloride release during TCA degradation.
Explanation:
Characteristic of matter that is not associated with its change in chemical composition.
