16. Ned observed an unknown chemical (A) reacting with hydrochloric acid (HCI). The reaction formed potassium chloride salt (KCl) and another unknown substance (B). Ned wrote down what he knew about
the reaction:
A + HCl → KCl + B
From this information, Ned inferred that unknown substance A was potassium (K) and that unknown
substance B was hydrogen (H2). What is another logical interpretation of this data?
a. A is chlorine (Cl) and B is hydrochloric acid (HCI).
b. A is potassium chloride (KCl) and B is hydrochloric acid (HCI).
c. A is potassium hydroxide (KOH) and B is hydrogen gas (H2).
d. None of the above.

Under what conditions will a gas be most likely to exhibit the ideal gas properties predicted by the ideal gas law? 1)high pressures and high temperature, because particles are forced closer together with higher kinetic energy, so intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker 2)high pressure and low temperature, because particles are forced closer together and moving slower, so the volume of the particles is less significant 3) low pressure and high temperature, because particles are spread farther apart and moving faster, so the intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker 4)low pressure and low temperature, because particles are spread farther apart with lower kinetic energy, so the volume of the particles is less significant
