PH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 8.7

pH = 5,3

This solution is <u>acidic</u>.

If pH<7 - acidic
If pH=7 - neutral
If pH>7 - basic

pOH scale is used to determine the basicity of a solution

pH scale is used to determine the acidity of a solution

pH and pOH are related in the following formula

pH + pOH = 14

once pOH is known we can calculate pH

pOH = 8.7

pH = 14 - 8.7

pH = 5.3


pH of the solution is 5.3


when pH is less than 7 the solution is said to be acidic

when pH is equal to 7 then solution is neutral

when pH is more than 7 then solution is basic

the pH of the solution here is 5.3 which is less than 7, therefore solution is acidic

acidic solution with pH of 5.3

Which of the following properly describes the movement of atoms as they represent the states of matter? Atoms making liquids hav
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Atoms making liquids have less attraction than solids, but more than gases

Explanation:

The attraction between atoms in different molecules in a solid is very strong due to strong intermolecular forces present in a solid. However, such intermolecular forces are weaker in liquids than in solids.

This implies that the solid has higher intermolecular forces of attraction compared to gases and liquids. Based on the negligible degree of intermolecular forces between them, a gas has the weakest intermolecular forces hence the atom has very minimal interaction between them.

The data on Climate change is as explained below-

Explanation:

Climate change is the ominous “hard truth” concurrently. However, it is not the first time that climate change is happening. In geological history, we find plenty of evidence of climate change.  

The most important and famous of all such changes is the climate change that occurred during the Mesozoic era leading to the extinction of Dinosaurus. The reason behind these all climate changes was different. However, the climate change we are witnessing at present has something extra to all this natural stuff.

The present climate change is fuelled by anthropogenic activities at large. Large scale emission of greenhouse gases possibly from burning of fossil fuels ever since the Industrial revolutions in the late 18th century has altered the chemical composition of atmospheric gases. In addition to the use of fossil fuels other activities such as agriculture, coal-based power plants, deforestation and other such activities have been instrumental in degrading the serene balance between different atmospheric gases.

The evidence of the present climate change can be gauged in-

  1. The rise in global average temperature-Earth’s mean temperature has risen by around 1° C ever since the 19th century. 2017 proved to be the warmest year in the record.
  2. Oceans have been net absorber of the heat. This has led to the warming up of oceans. This severely hampers and impact marine flora and fauna
  3. Deglaciation- the increasing temperature has manifested in the form of shrinking ice-sheets. Large icebergs are calving and thus has some serious long-term impact for the sustenance of mankind.
  4. Rise in the mean sea level- The sea level has risen by almost 10 inches since last century. This increase is all set to increase in future thus endangering the lives and livelihood of the coastal communities.

All the leading personalities of the time including the ex-president of the US Mr Barak Obama emphasised the importance of climate change and urged the global community to tackle it at earliest. In his words, he mentioned, “No other challenge poses as great a threat to the future generation as the climate change”. In addition to Mr Obama, noted climate activist Greta Thunberg described the climate change to be the greatest crisis to the humanity that it has ever faced.

Therefore, it can be safely argued that it’s urgent to talk and act tough on climate change. Climate change has transitioned into a multi-headed monster capable enough to devastate the entire mankind. It has done this earlier and sure to carry it further on.

Suppose an object is moving through space in a straight line. What could cause the object to start moving in a circle?
MAVERICK [17]
It could pass by a large enough object that has enough gravity to pull the object into its orbit and the object would stay in orbit because it has centripetal force.
