Water is molecule formed by the covalent bonding of two atoms of hydrogen with one atom of oxygen. The chemical and physical properties of water are different from each of it's constituent elements Oxygen and Hydrogen. The properties of a drop of water will depend on the simplest unit of water, which is the water molecule . Therefore, the smallest unit of the water drop that retains all the physical and chemical properties exhibited by a sample of water is the molecule.
Explanation:
(a) potassium oxide with water
According to reaction,1 mole of potassium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to give 1 mole of potassium hydroxide.
(b) diphosphorus trioxide with water
According to reaction,1 mole of diphosphorus trioxide reacts with 2 moles of water to give 2 moles of phosphorus acid.
(c) chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid,
According to reaction,1 mole of chromium(III) oxide reacts with 6 moles of hydrochloric acid to give 2 moles of chromium(III) chloride and 3 moles of water.
(d) selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide
According to reaction,1 mole of selenium dioxide reacts with 2 moles of potassium hydroxide to give 1 mole of potassium selenite and 1 mole of water.
