This problem is providing us with the mass of hydrochloric acid and the volume of solution and asks for the pH of the resulting solution, which turns out to be 1.477.

<h3>pH calculations</h3>

In chemistry, one can calculate the pH of a solution by firstly obtaining its molarity as the division of the moles of solute by the liters of solution, so in this case for HCl we have:

$M=\frac{17.6g*\frac{1mol}{36.46g} }{14.5L} \\\\M=0.0333 M$

Next, due to the fact that hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, we realize its concentration is nearly the same to the released hydrogen ions to the solution upon ionization. Thereby, the resulting pH is:

$pH=-log(0.0333)\\\\pH=1.477$

Which conserves as much decimals as significant figures in the molarity.

What do agents such as chemicals, elevated temperatures, ionizing radiation, and viruses have in common?

Leni [432]

Answer:

All of them affect the DNA

Explanation:

Chemicals are compounds that can pass through cell membranes and modificate the DNA, elevated temperatures can denaturalize the cell and therefore damage the DNA, ionizing radiation can pass through cell organelles and reach the nucleus affecting the DNA, and viruses inject its DNA into the genome and modify it.
