Answer is: 1. HClO₃; (chloric acid).
Balance chemical reaction (dissociation):
ClO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HClO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
According
to Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases
are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺).
The chlorate anion (ClO₃⁻) is Bronsted base and it
can accept proton and become conjugate acid HClO₃..
Molality of the solution is defined as the number of moles of a substance dissolved divided by the mass of the solvent:
Molality = number of moles / solvent mass
From the concentration of 39% (by mass) of HCl in water, we construct the following reasoning:
in 100 g solution we have 39 g hydrochloric acid (HCl)
number of moles = mass / molecular weight
number of moles of HCl = 39 / 36.5 = 1.07 moles
solvent (water) mass = solution mass - hydrochloric acid mass
solvent (water) mass = 100 - 39 = 61 g
Now we can determine the molality:
molality = 1.07 moles / 61 g = 0.018
Answer:
The rate reduces by a factor cf /2.
