Asmall pebble is heated and placed in a foam cup calorimeter containing 25.0 ml of water at 23.0°c. the water reaches a maximum temperature of 24.2°c. how many joules of heat were released by the pebble? (the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 j/g•°c and the density of water is 1.00 g/ml)

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.
