Answer:
1. Both
2. Acid
3. Acid
4. Base
5. Acid
6. Neither
7. Neither
8. Base
9. Acid
Explanation:
In Chemistry, a chemical compound can be either a base or an acid.
An acid reacts with metals to produce bubbles of hydrogen gas and it also reacts with carbonates while a base feels slimy to the touch. They both can change the color of a litmus paper.
Base has a sour taste while acids have a bitter taste (please do not use this characteristic to test for an acid in the laboratory)
It can be anything with a big heat capacity like water
The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.
Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.
A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.
A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

The reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid can be expressed through the chemical reaction,
CaCO3 + 2HCl --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
The molecular weight of calcium carbonate is 100 g/mol while that of hydrochloric acid is 36.45. The equation above depicts that 100 g of calcium carbonate can be dissolved in 72.9 g of hydrochloric acid.
x = (4 g HCl)(100 g CaCO3 / 72.9 HCl)
x = 5.49 g
Answer: 5.49 g
