Which of the following represent chemical processes? Which represent physical processes? A). Calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2 * 2H2O) slowly heated in a crucible to become calcium chloride (anhydrous).
B). A hydrocarbon such as propane (C3H8) undergoes combustion to power a grill
C). A rock climber’s rope becomes frayed and turns the color of the rocks
D). A dog urinates on an air conditioner coil and the coil becomes corroded

A). Calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2 * 2H2O) slowly heated in a crucible to become calcium chloride (anhydrous).

Dehyration is a physical process

B). A hydrocarbon such as propane (C3H8) undergoes combustion to power a grill

Combustion is a chemical process.

C). A rock climber’s rope becomes frayed and turns the color of the rocks

This is physical process

D). A dog urinates on an air conditioner coil and the coil becomes corroded

Corrsion is a chemical process.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
