They introduce energy into the system

Explanation:

There are three states of matter: Solid, liquid and gas. With change in pressure and temperature, matter changes its state. A solid has closely packed particles while a liquid and gas have loosely packed constituent particles. An outside force either compresses or expands the packed matter which causes it to change the state. On compression, particles come closer and gas changes to liquid and liquid to gas where as on expansion, the solid turns to liquid and liquid to gas.

What is the pOH of 0.5 M KOH?

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

pOH = 0.3

Explanation:

As KOH is a strong base, the molar concentration of OH⁻ is equal to the molar concentration of the solution. That means that in this case:

[OH⁻] = 0.5 M

With that information in mind we can<u> calculate the pOH </u>by using the following formula:

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

pOH = -log(0.5)

pOH = 0.3
