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).

What is the basis for the classification of changes in matter into physical and chemical changes quizlet
laiz [17]

Explanation:

The basis for classifying changes in matter into physical and chemical change is to see if a material is altered after going through a process.

In a physical change only the state of matter is usually altered especially its form or shape.

Chemical change alters a substance by producing new kinds that are totally different from it.

  • In  a chemical change, new kinds of matter are usually formed.
  • Such changes are usually irreversible.
  • Change of state is a reversible process.

Qual a relação e as PROPORÇÕES entre Joules, cal, Cal, e Kcal?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Verificar explicação

Explanation:

English Translation

What is the relationship and the PROPORTIONS between Joules, lime, Cal, and Kcal?

Joules is the SI unit of Energy (heat energy).

Calorie, also called lime, is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of pure water by 1°C or 1 K.

1 calorie = 4.186 J

A thousand calorie is equal to 1 kcal.

Hence,

1 kcal = 1000 calories = 4186 J

In Portugese/Em português

Joules é a unidade SI de energia (energia térmica).

Caloria, também chamada de cal, é a quantidade de calor necessária para elevar a temperatura de 1 grama de água pura em 1°C ou 1 K.

1 caloria = 4,186 J

Mil calorias é igual a 1 kcal.

Portanto,

1 kcal = 1000 calorias = 4186 J

Hope this Helps!!!
