Chapter 4.4, Problem 4.4CC

Complete and balance the two chemical equations.

$\begin{array}{l}HC1O_4(aq)+H_{2}O(l)\to \hfill \\ HB\text{r}(aq)+H_{2}O(l)\to \hfill \end{array}$

Which of the following statements is true regarding the solutions formed after the two chemical reactions have occurred?

1. a. The HBr is partially ionized in water.
2. b. The HClO₄ is completely ionized in water.
3. c. In the solution of HClO₄, you would expect to find very few HClO₄(aq) molecules relative to ClO₄⁻(aq) ions.
4. d. In the HBr solution there are significant quantities of HBr(aq) molecules.
5. e. None of the other statements (a–d) is true.
