Two scientists wrote a paper detailing their research and conclusions and submitted it to a scientific journal. several months later, they received the paper back from the publisher with many comments attached from several fellow scientists. what is most likely the next step taken by the authors of the paper?

a) they will change their research to a different topic and start all over again.
b) they will alter the data to match the results that their peers were expecting.
c) they will incorporate the suggestions from their peers and resubmit the paper.
d) they will sue the journal for not printing the paper and delaying their research.

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.
