The molecule of water is different from the molecules of oxygen and hydrogen in the following ways:
1. Combustion: Oxygen supports combustion, hydrogen burns in the air to form water. Water is not combustible. It rather inhibits combustion when poured over burning substances.
2. State of matter: Water is a liquid in room temperature whereas oxygen and hydrogen are gases. The polar nature of water contributes to hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms of water.
3. Density: Water is denser than both oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen bonding helps pack more molecules of water in less space.
4. Freezing point: Water freezes to ice at 0°C whereas oxygen freezes at -218°C and hydrogen freezes at -259°C.
2. The endosymbiotic theory suggests that a eukaryotic cell is the result of one prokaryotic cell eating another.
Answer and Explanation:
An acid has a pH that is less than 7. A base has a pH that is greater than 7. Something that has a pH of 7 is neutral, but since it doesn't seem that the question is asking about neutral, you can ignore that for this problem.
Situation 1: Base
Situation 2: Acid
Situation 3: Acid
Situation 4: Base
Situation 5: Acid
Situation 6: Base
A. Water directly out of the tap has a pH of 7.2. When you add carbon dioxide (blow into the water), you get a pH of 5.1. This means that the addition of carbon dioxide makes water more acidic.
B. The most basic solution will have the highest pH. This means that it will be water with bleach added to it.
C. The most acidic solution will have the lowest pH. This means that it will be water with instant coffee.
