Answer:

To determine whether a substance is an acid or a base, count the hydrogens on each substance before and after the reaction. If the number of hydrogens has decreased that substance is the acid (donates hydrogen ions). If the number of hydrogens has increased that substance is the base (accepts hydrogen ions).

what is the volume of a book that has a width of 10cm,a length that is 2 times the width,and a height that is half the width

Masteriza [31]

width=10cm

length=2xwidth=2x10=20cm

height=width/2=10/2=5

V=w*l*h=10*20*5=1000cm^3

The PH of a solution of Hcl is 2.find out the amount of acid present in a litre of the solution

Scrat [10]

Answer:

The solution is 10^-2 or 0.01M in HCl.

Explanation:

meaning of pH is "power of hydrogen".

what is the molar concentration of a HCl solution with pH=2?

Let say pH=2

[H+]=10^-2M

HCL is a strong acid that dissociates completely:

[H+]=[HCL]

Therefore solution is 10^-2 or 0.01M in HCL.

Which source of water pollution would be the hardest to trace and control?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Nonpoint pollution is harder to control

Explanation:

Nonpoint pollution is harder to control because they include runoff from farms, golf courses, construction sites, roads. Whereas the single origin of the pollution is harder to trace.

Can anybody check my answer?

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{25. 20 L; 26. 49 K}}$

Explanation:

25. Boyle's Law

The temperature and amount of gas are constant, so we can use Boyle’s Law.

$p_{1}V_{1} = p_{2}V_{2}$

Data:

$\begin{array}{rcrrcl}p_{1}& =& \text{100 kPa}\qquad & V_{1} &= & \text{10.00 L} \\p_{2}& =& \text{50 kPa}\qquad & V_{2} &= & ?\\\end{array}$

Calculations:

$\begin{array}{rcl}100 \times 10.00 & =& 50V_{2}\\1000 & = & 50V_{2}\\V_{2} & = &\textbf{20 L}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new volume will be } \boxed{\textbf{20 L}}$

26. Ideal Gas Law

We have p, V and n, so we can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume.

pV = nRT

Data:

p = 101.3 kPa

V = 20 L

n = 5 mol

R = 8.314 kPa·L·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

Calculation:

101.3 × 20 = 5 × 8.314 × T

2026 = 41.57T

$T = \dfrac{2026}{41.57} = \textbf{49 K}\\\\\text{The Kelvin temperature is }\boxed{\textbf{49 K}}$
