Explanation:

a) -About 1-2 drops of the unknown is dissolved in approximately 1 mL of analytical grade acetone standard solution. The test solution is added and shaken thoroughly.  If a positive test is not immediately observed, the set should be allowed to stand for 1-2 minutes. A positive result means the appearance of a green color.

b) The functional groups that can be distinguished by the test are alcohols and aldehydes.

Aldehydes give a positive test to chromic acid but ketones do not.

Primary and secondary alcohols give a positive test to chromic acid but tertiary alcohols do not.

c) Chromic Acid Test involves Cr in the +6 oxidation state. A positive test implies the reduction of orange Cr^6+ to green chromium Cr^3+.

d) The compounds were not shown but this image attached from lumen learning summarizes the reaction mechanism of chromic acid test.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).

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.
