Question

What statements are true about the figure shown: (click all that apply) (4 points) True False The HA is the acid and the H3O+ is its conjugate base The H2O is acting as a base and the H3O is its conjugate acid The solution shows an acid that completely dissociated into its ions The solution contains a strong acid

Answer 1

Based on standard acid-base chemistry principles, let's evaluate each statement.

1. **The HA is the acid and the H3O+ is its conjugate base.**
- **False**: HA is the acid, and its conjugate base would be A-. H3O+ is actually the conjugate acid of water (H2O).

2. **The H2O is acting as a base and the H3O is its conjugate acid.**
- **True**: In acid-base reactions, H2O can act as a base when it accepts a proton (H+) to become H3O+ (the conjugate acid of water).

3. **The solution shows an acid that completely dissociated into its ions.**
- **This statement cannot be accurately judged without additional information about the acid in question**. If it’s a strong acid, it would fully dissociate; if it’s a weak acid, it would not.

4. **The solution contains a strong acid.**
- **This statement also cannot be confirmed without additional information about the specific acid**. It depends on the nature of HA.

In summary, based on typical scenarios in acid-base chemistry, the only outright true statement (assuming common understanding and no additional context) would be the second one regarding H2O as a base. The first statement is false, while the last two depend on additional context regarding the acid in question.
