Part C Compare the mass of the zinc strip from test tube 5 with the mass of the same strip measured in task 1, part A. Based on
your observations of the metal strip, explain what factors may have added to its mass or caused a decrease in its mass.
Which had the greater effect? Explain your reasoning.

the answer would be b i believe

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.

is there any options? maybe im just not seeing them but i need the options to
