A particular mountain stream is home to a population of salamanders that are red in color. In the past year, a second population of salamanders that are dark blue in color
moved into the same stream. Scientists researching the stream have recently discovered young salamanders that are red with dark blue patches on their bodies.
What can the scientists conclude from this evidence?
A). The salamanders are suffering from a bacterial disease.
B)..The salamanders are on the verge of becoming extinct.
C). The salamanders undergo asexual reproduction.
D). The salamanders undergo sexual reproduction.

D

Explanation:

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.
