Kamir and alexis are studying the properties of water. they conducted a variety of experiments to determine its physical and chemical properties. of the tests the students conducted, which one illustrates a chemical property of water? a) salt dissolves in water. b) oil and water do not mix. c) pencil shavings float on water and do not dissolve. d) neutral water reacts with carbon dioxide to form an acid solution.

A1 forms when an acid is neutralized by a base. 1. salts can be neutral, or in solutions. salts of 2. strong acid–strong base reactions produce solutions with 3. water. salts formed from the neutralization of weak acids or weak 4. bases water. they produce solutions that are acidic or . basic. for example, the ph of a solution at the equivalence point is . greater than for a acid titration. solutions that resist changes in ph are called solutions. the buffer is the amount of acid or base that can be added to a buffer without changing the ph greatly.
