Two samples of the same rainwater are tested using two indicators at an environrnental lab. The first indicator, Methyl Orange,

reveals a distinct yellow color when added to the sample. The second indicator, Litmus, turns red when placed in contact with the water sample.
Required:
a. Identify a possible pH value for the rainwater.
b. Explain, in terms of hydronium ions and hydroxide ion concentrations, the pH value of the rainwater.

Answer:

A. The pH value of rainwater is acidic about 4.4

B. The molar concentrations of the Hydronium ions are more than that of the hydroxide ions. That is why the rainwater is acidic with a pH of less than 7

Explanation:

A. Methyl orange is an acid indicator that is used to detect acidic solutions which have pH values that fall within the range of about 4.4 to 7.  The distinct yellow colour change that was shown by the methyl orange as it was added to the water shows that the pH value is acidic, with a value above 4.4. (it has to be like this before methyl orange changes to  yellow colour)

B. The Hydronium ( H30+) ion concentrations and the hydroxide (OH-) ion concentrations are used to measure the pH values of substances.

We can tell that the Hydronium ( H30+) ion concentrations are more than the hydroxide (OH-) ion concentrations in the sample of rainwater tested. This can be detected from the colour change that both the methyl orange and the litmus paper gave. The indicators showed that the rainwater solution was indeed acidic. Hence, the pH value will be less than 7, but greater than 4.4.

How would a disease that damages the nucleus most directly affect the functioning of cells?
RSB [31]

Answer:

Hereditary information in the cell would be destroyed.

Explanation:

The nucleus can be defined as a membrane bound organelle that is found in eukaryotic cells. The main function of the nucleus is that it controls all activities that is related to the growth of the cell and also reproduction. The nucleus contains the cell hereditary information(DNA).

The nucleus is the most important organelle in the cell, It can sometimes be referred to as the brain of the cell. Therefore any health related condition that affects the nucleus would directly destroy all hereditary information that is stored in the cell.

Explain how water might have two different densities​
MrMuchimi

Answer:

I think this is it

Water can have two different densities if it has substances dissolved in it. ... When liquid water freezes it becomes solid water or ice, which is less dense than liquid water. The fact that solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water is evident in the way ice floats in a glass of water.

When the isotonic saline solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unkn
ozzi

B. The unknown solution had the lower concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the molecules of the solvent has a tendency to move through a membrane which is semipermeable from lower concentrated side to the higher concentration side, so that the concentrations on both sides of the membrane must be equal.

So the unknown solution may have lesser concentration than the isotonic solution so that molecules of that solution move from less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, so its level drops.

Explain how fluorine and aluminum would exchange valence electrons to form an ionic compound.
o-na [289]

Answer :

Explanation :

The aluminium and fluorine react to give ionic compound aluminium fluoride.

Aluminium has 1 valence electrons in their shell and fluorine has 7 valence electrons in their shell.

For the complete octet, both aluminium and fluorine exchange valence electrons to form an ionic compound.

The aluminium donates its three valence electrons to three fluorine atoms and they form one Al^{3+} and three F^- ions.

Electron transfer image is shown below.
