Hi,

1. What's it?
2. That's it.
Are the above sentences acceptable? Grammatically, yes. However, #1 seems unusual. More common would be 'What is it?', wih stress placed on the word 'is'.


For both examples, a context is really needed in order to clarify the meaning and to permit further comments.

1 is stilted, as Clive said.

More likely to be heard the other way around:

A: That's it!

B: What's it?

A: I just came up with the solution to a problem I've been working on.
