Predict the products of the reaction below. That is, complete the right-hand side of the chemical equation. Be sure your equation is balanced and contains state symbols after every reactant and product. HNO3 (aq)+ H2O â

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

As is a stronger acid than water , it will lose ions and water will gain ions.

The balanced chemical reaction will be :

where (aq) = aqueous

(l) = liquid

h let me think

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
