Answer:
<em>C: After 1 hour, the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3</em>
Explanation:
The degree of acidity or alkalinity/basicity of a substance is its pH. The value of pH ranges from 1 to 14 with the former being extreme acidity and the latter being extreme alkalinity while pH 7 is considered neutral.
Hence, any pH below 7 is considered acidic and above 7 is considered alkaline.
Reactions involving equal volumes of an acid and a base can end in acidic, alkaline or neutral pH depending on the strength of the acid/base involved;
- Equal volumes of strong acid with strong base will result in neutral pH
- Equal volumes of weak acid with strong base will result in alkaline pH
- Equal volume of strong acid with weak base will result in acidic pH
If substance A and B reacts with equal volume of the same acid under the same condition and the end result of A is a solution with pH of 9.2 and that of B is a pH of 8.3, it simply means substance A is a stronger base than substance B.
<em>Hence, the only outcome that supports the hypothesis that a tablet of PEPCID AC can neutralize more stomach acid than a tablet of Alka-Seltzer is that the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3 after being subjected to the same condition.</em>
If an indigestion is due to excess stomach acid, the only way to reduce the acidity is to consume a substance that will decrease the degree of acidity in the stomach. This means that the patient will need to consume something that is alkaline in order to increase the pH.
Answer:
Thelarche
Explanation:
In females, thelarche represents the start of puberty and as such it marks the beginning of the secondary development of the mammary glands known as breasts. This pubertal development usually occur in females that are between the ages of 8 years and 12 years due to the secretion of hormones such as estrogen.
In this scenario, Emily's body starts to develop secretory glands at the end of the milk ducts in the breasts. Based on the given information, we can say that Emily is most likely to be in the thelarche stage because she is beginning to experience breast budding.
Answer:
Cytoplasm
Explanation:
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm. Fermentation enzymes are not restricted to specific organelles or cell structures. In contrast, aerobic respiration depends on mitochondria in eukaryotes and plasma membrane in prokaryotes.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
Termite will not perform its function which is digesting cellulose. Hence termite will unable to decay woods.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Termites and trichonympha ( a protist ) are in symbiotic relation. Trichonympha lives in the hind gut of a termite. Termites give a home to trichonympha while trichonympha produce an enzyme which is used by termites to digest cellulose. So without trichonympha, there will be no enzyme and no digesting activity by termites.
