The carbon dioxide is the solvent, and water is the solute.

The water is the solution, and carbon dioxide is the solvent.

The carbon dioxide is the solution, and the water is the solvent.

The water is the solvent, and the carbon dioxide is the solute.


3. For the reaction CH3COOH CH3COO + H+, which of the following statements is true?

CH3COO is an Arrhenius base.

CH3COO is a Lewis base.

CH3COOH is a Brønsted-Lowry acid.

CH3COOH is a Brønsted

Answer 1

1) d) Remember the solvent dissolves the solute and in this case, the water is dissolving the carbon dioxide.
2) I'll go through each answer
a) An Arrhenius base puts OH ions into solution. there are no OH ions on the products side of you equation so no.
b) Lewis acids and bases donate or accept electron pairs. It doesn't look like it although you could check by drawing the structures.
c)Bronstead lowry acids put H+ into the solution
d) Bronstead lowry bases take H+ out of solution
I'd say your answer is c) since you have H+ ions on the products side of your equation.

Answer 2

Thank you!

Answer 3

Water is a solvent and CO2 is dissolved in it
