A pool owner adds a compound containing chlorine to the pool to disinfect it. However, too much of the compound is added. As a r

esult, the water becomes too acidic. What could the pool owner do to reduce the acidity of the pool?
He could add another acid to the pool to compete with the existing acid.
He could add a metal salt to the pool to precipitate the acid.
He could add a base to the pool to neutralize the acid.

Answer: He could add a base to the pool to neutralize the acid.

Explanation:

Chlorine is used to disinfect the pools as it produces hypochlorous acid in water. This hypochlorous acid is unstable and gives hydrochloric acid and nascent oxygen which is used to disinfect.

Cl_2+H_2O\rightarrow HOCl

HOCl\rightarrow HCl+O

The excess acid is neutralized by adding base which produces salt and water and thus decrease the acidity.

Acid+Base\rightarrow Salt+water

Adding more acid would increase the acidity further.

What are the difference between an animal cell and plant cell
Bingel [31]

Answer:

ANIMAL CELL

Animal cells are generally small in size.

They don't have a cell wall

Except the protozoan Euglena, no animal cell possesses plastids.

Vacuoles in animal cells are many, small and temporary.

Animal cells have a single highly complex and prominent Golgi apparatus.

Animal cells have centrosome and centrioles.

PLANT CELL

Plant cells are larger than animal cells.

The plasma membrane of plant cells is surrounded by a rigid cell wall of cellulose.

They have Plastids

Most mature plant cells have a permanent and large central sap vacuole.

Plant cells have many simpler units of Golgi apparatus, called dictyosomes.

Plant cells lack centrosome and centrioles.

Hope this helps!

Nat2105 [25]

The answer is: Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations.

"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory.

This is example of natural selection and adaptation.

Genetic variation is important to the population's ability to survive in different situations that affect natural selection.  

The environment is constantly changing and different alleles are favored.

Using your answer from the previous question and any color changes in the video, which part of the salt visually responds to the
Drupady [299]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete however, the answer is straight forward.

A salt is a compound formed as a result of the neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. The salt formed comprises of the metal from the base and the non-metal from the acid, as shown below

HCl + NaOH ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

Hence, we can say a salt has a metallic and non-metallic component.

Flame test experiment is generally used to detect the presence of metal ions by "releasing" several metallic colour change. Thus, the part of the salt that must have visually responded to the flame test is the metallic component.
