Chemistry

The calculation of pH is based on the activity (aH) of hydrogen ions (H+) dissolved in solution. Specifically, the pH range of numbers is based on a logarithmic scale:

pH=-log (aH)

Log functions are used to rescale very large numbers (or very small numbers) into values much closer to 1. This is often done to deal with more reasonable
Numbers (for pH, 1 to 14). Mathematically, the negative sign in the formula means that pH must be less than 1.


The lower the number on the pH scale, the greater the concentration of hydrogen ions and the greater the material's acidity. The higher the number assigned on the pH scale, the greater the concentration of hydroxide ions and the more basic, or alkaline, the material.

The answer is 4.

How do the orbits of a comet and earth compare?
TiliK225 [7]
Comets are balls of ice and dust in orbit around the Sun. The orbits of comets are different from those of planets - they are elliptical. A comet's orbit takes it very close to the Sun and then far away again.

Answer:

The illustration represents the mitochondria of the cells.

Explanation:

The image shows the structure of a mitochondrion, whose shape is "ovoid", which contains two membranes, a folded inner and a smooth outer, observing invaginations (mitochondrial ridges). This article contains the enzymes for the Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation being responsible for the energy generator for the maintenance of cellular activity.

How do subscripts represent the charge balance of ions
finlep [7]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation</u>;</h3>
  • To balance the charges of ions the number of electrons lost is equal to the number of electrons gained. The overall net charge must be zero.
  • The number of ions needed to accomplish this is represented by the subscripts.
  • For any given ionic compound, the product of the charge on the ion (or multiatomic ionic group) times the subscript of the ion will give a total charge of zero when all ions are considered.

For examples: NaCl Na = +1 Cl = -1 total is zero
