With a pH of five, it would mean that this substance is a weak acid one would also it expect it would be sour.

Answer : The correct option is, sour taste

Explanation :

Acid : It is a substance that has ability of donating proton or hydrogen ion or hydronium ion, H^+.

The properties of an acid are :

  • Acids are sour in taste.
  • The texture of an acid solution is sticky.
  • It changes the color of the litmus paper to red.
  • It react with a metal to give compound and hydrogen gas.
  • The pH of an acid is less than 7.

Base : It is a substance that has ability of donating hydroxide ion, OH^-.

The properties of an base are :

  • Base are bitter in taste.
  • The texture of an base solution is slippery.
  • It changes the color of the litmus paper to blue.
  • It does not react with a metal.
  • The pH of a base is more than 7.

As per question, the pH is 5 that means the solution is acidic in nature and follow the properties of an acid. So, the pH = 5 has the sour taste characteristic. While the other options are the properties of a base.

Hence, the correct option is, sour taste

a 0.1 kg slinky sits at the top of a staircase with 14 J of potential energy. How high is the staircase?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: The staircase is 14.28 m high.

Explanation:

Given : Mass = 0.1 kg

Potential energy = 14 J

Potential energy is the energy occupied by the position of a substance. Therefore, formula for potential energy is as follows.

P.E = mgh

where,

m = mass

g = gravitational energy = 9.8 m/s^{2}

h = height of object

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

P.E = m \times g \times h\\14 J = 0.1 kg \times 9.8 m/s^{2} \times h\\h = \frac{14 J}{0.1 kg \times 9.8 m/s^{2}}\\= \frac{14 J}{0.98 m kg/s^{2}}\\= 14.28 Js^{2}/ mkg          (1 J s^{2}/m kg = 1 m)\\= 14.28 m

Thus, we can conclude that the staircase is 14.28 m high.

Design a test to determine whether thorium-234 also emits particles. First, explain how Rutherford’s experiment measured positiv
liubo4ka [24]

The characteristics of the α and β particles allow to find  the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the beta particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

In Rutherford's experiment, the positive particles directed to the gold film were measured on a phosphorescent screen that with each arriving particle a luminous point is seen.

The particles in this experiment are α particles that have two positive charge and two no charged is a helium nucleus.

The test that can be carried out is to place a small ours of Thorium in front of a phosphorescent screen and see if it has flashes, with the amount of them we can determine the amount of particle emitted per unit of time.

Thorium has several isotopes, with different rates and types of emission:

  • ²³²Th emits α particles, it is the most abundant 99.9%
  • ²³⁴Th emits β particles, exists in small traces.

In this case they indicate that the material used is ²³⁴Th, which emits β particles that are electrons, the detection of these particles is more difficult since it has one negative charge, it has much lower mass, but they can travel further than the particles α, therefore, for what type of isotope we have, we can start measuring at a small distance and increase the distance until the reading is constant. At this point all the particles that arrive are β, which correspond to ²³⁴Th.

Neutron detection is much more difficult since these particles have no charge and therefore do not interact with electrons and no flashing on the screen is varied.

In conclusion with the characteristics of the α and β particles we can find the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the β particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.
