Classify each of the following as a Strong acid (sa) or a Weak acid (wa) and indicate how each should be written in aqueous solution. Classify ... In solution this acid should be written as: fill in the blank 1 1. nitric acid fill in the blank 3 2. perchloric acid fill in the blank 5 3. hydrofluoric acid

1. nitric acid: sa

2. perchloric acid: sa

3. hydrofluoric acid: wa

Explanation:

A strong acid (sa) is the one that is completely dissociated into ions in water. Conversely, a weak acid (wa) is not completely dissociated in water.

From the options, the strong acids are:

1. nitric acid (HNO₃). It dissociates completely into ions when is dissolved in water, as follows:

HNO₃ → H⁺ + NO₃⁻

2. perchloric acid (HClO₄). It is completely dissociated in water as follows:

HClO₄ → H⁺ + ClO₄⁻

The weak acid is hydrofluoric acid (HF). In water, only a small proportion is dissociated into ions. The proportion of ions formed is given by the equilibrium constant Ka. The dissociation is written by using double arrows:

HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
