Answer: A. 2.3

Explanation:

pH of a solution is given by the following mathematical expression;

pH = - Log [ H+]

     =  -Log [ 5.4 x 10-3]

     = 3 - 0.7324

pH  = 2.27 aprrox 2.3

A researcher discovers a new bacterium that lives on the seafloor near hydrothermal vents. This organism reduces CO2 to form C6H
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

C. Chemoautotroph

Explanation:

The new bacterium are able to create their own energy and biological materials  (glucose) from inorganic chemicals (CO2 and H2), therefore they are called chemoautotroph.

Gas in a balloon occupies 3.3 L. What volume will it occupy if the pressure is changed from 100.0 kPa to 90.0 kPa (at constant t
german
Since the temperature is a constant, we can use Boyle's law to solve this.<span>

<span>Boyle' law says "at a constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed amount of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

P α 1/V               </span>⇒                 PV = k (constant)<span>

Where, P is the pressure of the gas and V is the volume.

<span>Here, we assume that the </span>gas in the balloon is an ideal gas. 

We can use Boyle's law for these two situations as,
            P</span>₁V₁ = P₂V₂<span>

P₁ = 100.0 kPa = 1 x 10⁵ Pa
V₁ = 3.3 L
P₂ = 90.0 x 10³ Pa
V₂ =?

By substitution,
    1 x 10⁵ Pa x 3.3 L = 90 x 10³ Pa x V₂</span><span>
                            V</span>₂ = 3.7 L<span>
</span><span>Hence, the volume of gas when pressure is 90.0 kPa is 3.7 L.</span></span>

What is process of bringing water to boiling affects
jek_recluse [69]

Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere. There are two main types of boiling; nucleate boiling where small bubbles of vapour form at discrete points, and critical heat flux boiling where the boiling surface is heated above a certain critical temperature and a film of vapor forms on the surface. Transition boiling is an intermediate, unstable form of boiling with elements of both types. The boiling point of water is 100 °C or 212 °F, but is lower with the decreased atmospheric pressure found at higher altitudes.

Boiling water is used as a method of making it potable by killing microbes that may be present. The sensitivity of different micro-organisms to heat varies, but if water is held at 70 °C (158 °F) for ten minutes, many organisms are killed, but some are more resistant to heat and require one minute at the boiling point of water. Clostridium spores can survive this treatment, but as the infection caused by this microbe is not water-borne, this is not a problem.

Boiling is also used in cooking. Foods suitable for boiling include vegetables, starchy foods such as rice, noodles and potatoes, eggs, meats, sauces, stocks and soups. As a cooking method it is simple and suitable for large scale cookery. Tough meats or poultry can be given a long, slow cooking and a nutritious stock is produced. Disadvantages include loss of water-soluble vitamins and minerals. Commercially prepared foodstuffs are sometimes packed in polythene sachets and sold as "boil-in-the-bag" products.

Which group/family contains elements with the smallest radius within the same period?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Halogens

Explanation:

From the given choices, the halogens will have the smallest radius within the same period.

The size of an atom is estimated by the atomic radius. This is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state.

  • Across a period in the periodic table, atomic radii decrease progressively from left to right.
  • Down a group from top to bottom, atomic radii increase progressively due to the addition of successive shells.

Since halogen is the right most group from the choices given, it will have the smallest radius.
