Question

HNO3(s) → H+(aq) + NO3(aq)

Which statement about this equation is FALSE?
A. It shows the dissociation of nitric acid.
B. It is a decomposition reaction.
C. It forms anions and cations.
D. The resulting solution does not conduct electricity.

Answer 1

D. The resulting solution does not conduct electricity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for the given chemical reaction we can say that:

A. it is true because the nitric acid ionizes into hydrogen and nitrate ions

B. it is a decomposition reaction because the acid is partitioned into the composing ions.

C. it is ionized to hydrogen cations and nitrate anions.

D. this is incorrect because nitric acid is a strong electrolyte able to conduct the electricity.
