13. For each of the following masses, calculate the amount (in mol) of the sample:
a) 7.83 g of lithium chloride, LiCl
b) 20.0 g of water, H2O
c) 1.3 x 103 g of calcium chloride, CaCl2
d) 2.79 kg of sodium hydroxide, NaOH
(1 kg = 1000 g)

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.

it’s previous models   because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter  

c. 4.54 x 10–12 j happens to be correct
