c or d
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
hint:
we have to get the partial neutralization of the acid, and it is possible only if we add an hydroxide
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
so c
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
option C is an acid
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
oh ok then D KOH

I think that if we add heat, then options B and C can not be possible
OpenStudy (sachintha):
It should be turned to plasma.
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
I think so! Since an ionization of the molecules of the gas it is possible
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
depending on the quantity of heat I am adding to the gas
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
generally the ionization of a gas is obtained by means of the collisions among the molecules of that gas with a beam of accelerated electrons

I think it is option A, nevertheless I'm not sure
OpenStudy (sachintha):
Agree. Giving enough heat will turn the gas to plasma by increasing collisions.
