acidiication. a. seawater contains many salts, including sodium chloride. write its chemical formula. b. sodium chloride is soluble in water. what chemical process takes place when solid sodium chloride dissolves? hint: see section 5.8

a. NaCl

b. Dissociation (the compound breaking down into ions)

14 days is the half-life of phosphorus-32

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
