Chapter 5, Problem 118SAE

Classify each of the blowing statements as true or false.
a. Barium chloride, ${\mathrm{BaCl}}_{2,}$ is a weak electrolyte aqueous solution.
b. In the reaction ${\text{H}}^{\text{-}}{\text{(aq)+H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(\text{I}\right)\to {\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right){\text{+OH}}^{\text{-}}\text{(aq)}$ , water acts as both an acid and an oxidizing agent.
c. A precipitate forms when aqueous carbonate, ${\mathrm{Na}}_{2}C{O}_2\left(aq\right),$ is treated excess aqueous hydrochloric acid,HCl(aq).
d. Hydrofluoric acid, HF, is a strong acid in water.
e. Compared with a 0.010 M solution of ${\rm N}\alpha {\rm N}{{\rm O}}_2,$ a 0.010 M solution of $\mathrm{Mg}{\left(N{O}_2\right)}_2$ is a better conductor of electricity.
