Hi - I am taking continuing education courses and
have a couple of questions that I can't seem to
figure out. I am looking on the web for
illustrations of what happens to an acid and a
base when added together. For example, I have 4
molecules of HCl and 4 moleculess of NaCl. What
happens when I add another 2 molecules of Hcl to
it? 2. Is there really 2 forms of Boron? Boron
10 and Boron 11? 3. Is HBr and PBr3
an electrolyte? 4. I see where
Ca(OH)2 in some areas is a strong
base, but also a weak electrolyte? Which is it?
Thanks for your help if you can, or please point
me in a direction where I can find some answers!! Ken

Answer 1:
The internet can be a good source for very
specific and timely information, however for the
questions you have, the internet will likely be
more frustrating than helpful. It sounds like you
would benefit greatly from an inorganic or general
chemistry book. I would look in a college
bookstore for a used copy (probably around $30) or
on Amazon. All of the questions you have will be
described in detail in such a book if it is any
good. Good luck.
