Describe the process that takes place between the participantsin the neutralization reaction between the strong acid hydrochloricacid, HCl(aq), and water insoluble chromium(III)hydroxide, Cr(OH)3(s), forming water andchromium(III) chloride, CrCl3(aq). Mention thenature of the particles in the solution before and after thereaction.
(a) Because hydrochloric acid is  ---Select--- an acida base a binary covalent compound a binary ionic compound anoxyacid , it reacts with water to form  ---Select---hydrogen atoms hydronium ions hydroxide ions protonsand  ---Select--- chlorate ions chloride ions hydroniumions hydroxide ions .
Because it is  ---Select--- a weak acid a strong acid aweak base a strong base , the reaction is  ---Select--- achain reaction a completion reaction a reversible reaction asubstitution reaction leaving only  ---Select---hydronium ions hydroxide ions protons and  ---Select---chlorate ions chloride ions hydrochloric acid molecules watermolecules in solution.
(b) Because chromium(III) hydroxide is  ---Select--- astrong base an exception to the solubility rules insoluble in water, it  ---Select--- does not produce any ions produces asmall amount of hydroxide ions separates into chromium andhydroxide ions when exposed to water.
The reaction of chromium(III) hydroxide with wateris  ---Select--- absent a chain reaction a completionreaction a reversible reaction a substitution reaction .
(c) The instant the two solutions are mixed the solution containsthe following particles: (Select all that apply.)

(d) When the  ---Select--- chlorate ions chloride ionshydrochloric acid molecules hydronium ions water molecules collidewith the  ---Select--- chromium hydroxide moleculeschromium ions hydroxide ions water molecules , they react toform  ---Select--- chlorate ions chloride ions chromiumhydroxide molecules chromium ions hydronium ions hydroxide ionshydrochloric ions hydrochloric acid molecules water molecules.
This reaction prevents the  ---Select--- chloratechloride chromium hydronium hydroxide cations from returning to thesolid, resulting in the gradual  ---Select--- combustiondissolution eradication precipitation sublimation of thechromium(III) hydroxide solids.
If  ---Select--- a smaller amount of acid than base isequivalent amounts of acid and base are a greater amount of acidthan base is mixed together, the  ---Select--- chlorateions chloride ions hydrochloric acid molecules hydronium ions watermolecules and  ---Select--- chromium hydroxide moleculeschromium ions hydroxide ions water molecules will completelyneutralize each other.
(e) At the end of the reaction the solution contains the followingparticles: (Select all that apply.)
