What causes some aqueous solutions to have a low PH?

Chemistry

noname [10]3 years ago

<span> Low pH means the solution is acidic; if the solution is acidic, that means that there are hydronium ions in solution (H3O+). For example, hydrochloric acid dissolves into H+ ions and Cl- ions, and the H+ ions rreact with water like this:
H+ + H2O --> H3O+

If you want to get mathematical, pH is defined as the negative log of the concentration of hydronium ions.
Thus, if there are a lot of hydronium ions, the solution will have a low, or acidic, pH.  Hope this helps^-^</span>

Complete the nuclear equation
allsm [11]
In order to solve this question, we must apply the conservation of mass. The total number of nucleons (upper number) and protons (lower number) must be equal before and after the decay. The new nucleon number is
218 - 4
= 214
And new proton number is
84 - 2
= 82
Next, we must identify which element has the proton number 82. That would be lead, Pb.
Therefore, the answer is 
5. ²¹⁴Pb₈₂

What would happen if evaporation does not take place in nature​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Evaporation is an important process in the water cycle. If there is no evaporation, there is no moisture in the atmosphere. As a result, clouds cannot form and there is no rain. Plants do not receive natural water and die. And there would be no rivers or lakes because their water comes from evaporation via rain or snow.
