Question

Which compound(s) in the following chemical reaction is (are) in solution?HClO(aq) + HCl(aq) → Cl (aq) + H2O(1)a.all reactants and productsc. H20(I) onlyb. all productsd all reactants

Answer 1

All reactants

OPTION D

Explanation:

Firstly, you need to know the meaning of the solution

`\text{HClO}_((aq))+HCl_((aq))\rightarrow Cl_((aq))+H_2O_((l))`

Solution: Solution is defined as a homogenous mixture of two or more components in which particle size is smaller than 1nm.

Solution = solute + solvent

The solute is a substance that is dissolved in the solvent.

An aqueous solution is defined as a solution in which its solvent is water

As you can see from the above-balanced chemical equation, the solutions in the reaction have a subscript (aq) attached to them.

Also, from the reaction, the compounds that are in reactions are the reactants only which are HClO (aq) and HCl (aq)

Hence, the answer is all reactants -------- OPTION D
