Problem page a student dissolves of lithium chloride in of water in a well-insulated open cup. he then observes the temperature of the water rise from to over the course of minutes. use this data, and any information you need from the aleks data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: you can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits. note for advanced students: it's possible the student did not do the experiment carefully, and the values you calculate may not be the same as the known and published values for this reaction.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
