Answer:

So, Luke and Sian has to increase the pH of the soil by adding base to it.

Explanation:

The pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in their aqueous solution.

pH=-\log[H^+]

  • With increase in hydrogen ion concentration the pH value decreases.
  • With decrease in hydrogen ion concentration the pH value increases.

The pH of the soil after testing it on a kit comes out be 5.0, but they both need pH of the soil to 6.5.

Comparison of pH of soil:

  =  5.0 < 6.5

= High hydrogen ion concentration > High hydrogen ion concentration

So, Luke and Sian has to increase the pH of the soil by adding base .Doing so will decrease the hydrogen ion concentration in the soil (where as addition of acid lower the pH of soil).

In a diagnostic test for leukemia, a person receives 4.1 mL of a solution containing selenium-75. If the activity of the seleniu
Tcecarenko [31]

To solve this problem, we can simply calculate for the dose by multiplying the volume of solution containing Selenium 75 and the activity of the Selenium 75. That is:

dose = 4.1 mL * (45 μCi/mL)

dose = 184.5 μCi
