A student performed an experiment in which 10 mL of a strong acid was placed on a sample of limestone. Bubbles formed where the acid touched the limestone. After 20 minutes, the bubbling stopped and the surface of the limestone appeared unchanged. What is an observation that suggests a chemical reaction did in fact take place between the acid and the limestone? a) The limestone appeared to be unchanged.
b) The acid had to be prepared beforehand.
c) Bubbles formed where the acid and limestone touched.
d) None of the above

okay yes , aha.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

the answer is   c.) 1575 j.

explanation:

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
