Answer: Sodium sulfate and Ammonium sulfate could not be used for this purpose.

Explanation:

An acidic solution will show a pH in the range of 0 - 6.9. A basic solution show a pH in the range of 7.1 - 14. A neutral solution will show a pH of 7.

A salt is acidic, when it is formed from the combination of strong acid and weak base. A salt is basic, when it is formed from the combination of weak acid and strong base. A salt is neutral, when it is formed from the combination of weak acid and weak base or strong acid and strong base.

a. Sodium carbonate : is formed by the combination of strong base NaOH and a weak acid H_2CO_3[, thus forms a basic solution.

Na_2CO_3\rightarrow 2Na^++CO_3^{2-}

b. Sodium sulfate:  is formed by the combination of strong base NaOH and a strong acid H_2SO_4[, thus forms a neutral solution.

Na_2SO_4\rightarrow 2Na^++SO_4^{2-}

c. Ammonium sulfate:  is formed by the combination of weak base NH_4OH and a strong acid H_2SO_4[, thus forms a acidic solution.

(NH_4)_2SO_4\rightarrow 2NH_4^++SO_4^{2-}

d. Sodium phosphate:  is formed by the combination of strong base NaOH and a weak acid H_3PO_4[, thus forms a basic solution.

Na_3PO_4\rightarrow 3Na^++PO_4^{3-}

Increasing the temperature of gas in a container that cannot expand is a way to _______. decrease the volume of the gas decrease
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Increase the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

According to the Pressure law, for a fixed mass of gas, at a constant volume (V), the pressure (P) is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T).

From the kinetic molecular theory, gases are composed of particles which are in constant motion, colliding with themselves as well as with the walls of their container.

When the temperature of these gas molecules is increased, the molecules acquire more kinetic energy and the rate of collisions increases. Since the container cannot expand, the increase in pressure is due to the increase in collisions between the molecules of the gas as well as with the walls of their container.

Answer:

4.2  g  

Explanation:

The VOLUME of the ring is   4.2 - 4.0 = .2 ml  = .2 cm^3

the MASS of the ring is this times the density

.2 cm^3  *  21 g/cm^3 = 4.2 g
