Question

question 12 (1 point)
a reaction between an acid (hcl) and base (lioh) resulting in water (h₂o) and salt (licl) is called
redox
synthesis
decomposition
neutralization
question 13 (1 point)
cations have a negative charge.
true
false

Explanation:

• Question 12: A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to form water and a salt. In this case, \(HCl\) (acid) reacts with \(LiOH\) (base) to form \(H_2O\) (water) and \(LiCl\) (salt). A redox reaction involves a transfer of electrons (change in oxidation states), a synthesis reaction is when two or more substances combine to form one product (\(A + B

ightarrow AB\)), and a decomposition reaction is when one substance breaks down into two or more (\(AB
ightarrow A + B\)).

• Question 13: Cations are positively - charged ions. They are formed when an atom loses one or more electrons. For example, \(Na^+\) (sodium cation) is formed when a sodium atom (\(Na\)) loses one electron (\(Na

ightarrow Na^++e^-\)). Anions are negatively - charged ions.

Answer:

• Question 12: neutralization
• Question 13: False
