Question

Examine the following reaction.

HBrwater—→H++Br−

What process is being shown?

hydronium formation
neutralization
acid dissociation
base dissociation

Answer 1

The answer is either Neutralization or Acid Dissociation

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test and selected both and got it partially correct, so that means one of them has to be right. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Answer 2

Answer: acid dissociation

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

`HBr+H_2O\rightarrow H^+(aq.)+Br^-(aq.)`

Here,
`HBr` is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and the reaction is acid dissociation.

Hydroium ion is
`H_3O^+`

Neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

`HA+BOH\rightarrow H_2O+BA`

Thus the reaction is acid dissociation.
