Answer:

Option (d) The milk is 10000 times more basic than the lemon juice.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

pH of milk = 6

pH of lemon juice = 2

To know which option is correct, let us find the ratio of the concentration of Hydrogen ion, H+ of the the milk to that of the lemon.

This is illustrated below:

For milk:

pH = 6

Hydrogen ion concentration, [H+] =?

pH = –Log [H+]

6 = –Log [H+]

– 6 = Log [H+]

[H+] = Antilog (– 6)

[H+] = 1x10^-6 M

For lemon juice:

This is illustrated below

pH = 2

Hydrogen ion concentration, [H+] =?

pH = –Log [H+]

2 = –Log [H+]

– 2 = Log [H+]

[H+] = Antilog (– 2)

[H+] = 0.01 M

Next we shall determine the ratio of the concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] of milk to that of the lemon juice. This is illustrated below:

[H+] of milk : [H+] of lemon juice

[H+] of milk / [H+] of lemon juice

=> 1x10^-6 / 0.01

=> 1 / 10000

[H+] of milk : [H+] of lemon juice

=> 1 : 10000

Note: the higher the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+], the more acidic the substance will be and the lesser the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+], the more basic the substance will be.

From the above illustration, we can see that the milk is 10000 times more basic than the lemon juice..

There are 0.55 moles of carbon dioxide gas in a 15.0 L container. This container is at a temperature of 300 K. What is the press

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{D.) 91 kPa}}$

Explanation:

We can use the Ideal Gas Law — pV = nRT

Data:

V = 15.0 L

n = 0.55 mol

T = 300 K

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}pV & =& nRT\\p \times \text{15.0 L} & = & \text{0.55 mol} \times \text{8.31 kPa$\cdot$ L$\cdot$K$^{-1}$mol$^{-1}\times$ 300 K}\\15.0p & = & \text{1370 kPa}\\p & = & \textbf{91 kPa}\end{array}\\\text{The pressure in the container is $\large \boxed{\textbf{91 kPa}}$}$

Easy ways to understand ionic formulae?

NemiM [27]

Https://superhumanacademy.com/how-to-memorize-polyatomic-ions-chemical-formulas/

This is how I memorized the ionic formulae. It is a lot to remember, so it does take some time and studying. But this website helped me learn it fast and in a suuuper unique way. I learned it 3 years ago and could still name quite a bit of them. Hope this helps!!!

Compare rutherford's expected outcome of the gold-foil experiment with the actual outcome.

iragen [17]

Rutherford was one of the early scientists who worked on the atomic model. Before his discovery of the nucleus, the widely accepted theory was J.J Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, all the protons, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus. But the electrons are more in number such that the electrons act as the 'pudding' and the proton and nucleus the 'plum'. This was Rutherford's hypothesis in his gold foil experiment. In order to test the Plum Pudding model, he hypothesized that when a beam of light is aimed at the atom, it would not diffract because the charges in the nucleus are well-distributed. However, his experiment disproved Thomson's model. Some light indeed passed through but a few was diffracted back to the source. He concluded that this was because there is a dense mass inside the atom called nucleus. Thus, from there on, he proposed the model that the electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.
