Answer:
3. The temperatures of the two substances equalize.
Explanation:
- As two objects at different temperatures are placed in contact, heat is transferred from the warmer to the cooler object until the temperature of the two objects be the same.
- The amount of heat that is transferred from the warmer object is equal to the amount of heat that is transferred into the cooler object.
- This is in agreement with the law of conservation of energy.
- <em>So, the right choice is: 3. The temperatures of the two substances equalize. </em>

As a base is added to an acidic solution, the H+ ions in solution that make it acidic are slowly neutralized into water (via OH-, the base). As these ions are converted into water the concentration of them decreases, so the pH decreases, as they are directly related.

Oxygen and Sulfur are in the same group.
Sulfur is the next element in the group, and it reacts with hydrogen gas (H2) in a manner similar to oxygen.
