Acompound that releases hydroxide ions in solution would most likely have which chemical property?
a: it would react with lipids to form soap.
b: it would react with metals to form a salt and water.
c: it would react with metals to form hydrogen gas.
d: it would react with carbonates to form carbon dioxide.

Correct answer choice is :

A)  It would react with lipids to form soap.

Explanation:

A chemical property is any of a material's characteristics that becomes apparent during, or after, a chemical reaction, that is, any property that can be set only by modifying a substance's chemical status. They can also be helpful to recognize an unknown substance or to isolate or filter it from other substances.

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation: Hydroxide ions are the poly-atomic ions which are generally released when a base is dissolved in water. The compound is base.

For the given options:

Option A: When base reacts with lipids, it results in the formation of soaps.

Option B: When base reacts with non-metal oxide, it results in the formation of salt and water.

Option C: When acid reacts with metals, it results in the formation of salt and hydrogen gas.

Option D: When acid reacts with metal carbonates, it results in the formation of salt, carbon dioxide and water.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
