Hmm. This is very unspecific but it could either be indicating the pH of the solution or just saying it is an aqeous solution.

"An acid is a substance that forms hydrogen ions when dissolved in water." this is an example of Arrhenius theory .

<u>Explanation: </u>

Any substance that, after ionisation, dissolves in liquid and produce hydrogen ions called Arrhenius acid (HCl, HCN,etc). Whereas, a substance that dissolves in aqueous releases hydroxide ions called Arrhenius base (NAOH, KOH, etc).

Arrhenius theory elaborates why acids have same properties: The internal properties of acids are determined by the presence of H^{+}  ions formed by dissolving acids in aqueous. These also explain why acid neutralises bases and vice versa. Acids give an H^{+} ion and the bases give an O H^{-} ions.

Example:

                   H C l \rightarrow H^{+}(a q)+C l^{-}(a q)

Where, (aq) stands for aqueous which means in the presence of water that is, water acts as a solvent.

A container of argon with a volume of 22 ml has a pressure of 101.0 kPa.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The new pressure is 44.4 kPa.

Explanation:

We have,

Initial volume, V_1=22\ ml

Initial pressure, P_1= 101.0\ kPa

It is required to find the new pressure when the volume is increased to 50 ml. The relationship between pressure and volume is known as Boyle's law.

PV=k\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2

P_2 is final pressure

P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{22\times 101\times 10^3}{50}\\\\P_2=44440\ Pa\\\\P_2=44.4\ kPa

So, new pressure is 44.4 kPa.

uysha [10]

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. If an object is moving, then it has kinetic energy. If an object has kinetic energy, then it is moving. Many students confuse kinetic energy with potential energy.
