Answer:
C. 10
Explanation:
So wr for protons is 2 and wr for alpha particles is 20. In these terms, alpha particles cause ten times more damage then protons.
Answer:
The amount of base needed is the amount that would give one mole of the hydroxide ion needed to neutralise one mole of the hydroxonium ion from the acid.
Explanation:
The chemical reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water only is called a Neutralization reaction. Chemically
H⁺ + OH⁻ = H₂0
Hence, one mole of hydroxonium ion (H⁺) will combine with one mole of hydroxide ion (OH⁻) to give salt and water only.
In a completely neutralized reaction, the resulting salt is formed when there is complete dissociation of the acid and base to give salt and water with a pH of 7.
In the given question, the stated pH of between 8-9 tells us that the salt produced in this particular neutralization reaction is basic or alkaline. This usually occurs when a strong base reacts with a weak acid, producing a higher concentration of the hydroxide ion at equilibrium.
Hence the amount of base needed is the amount that would give one mole of the hydroxide ion needed to neutralise one mole of the hydroxonium ion from the acid.
If the concentration or molarity of the acid is known, then the exact amount of base required to neutralize it can be calculated. This is usually done via titrating the acid against drop wise solution of the base. Neutralization usually occurs when there is a change in colour of the resulting solution. The pH of the resulting solution can be determined using a litmus paper.
A blue litmus paper is indicative of a basic solution while a red litmus paper is indicative of an acidic solution.
Answer:
Mario uses a hot plate to heat a beaker of 50mL of water. He used a thermometer to measure the
temperature of the water. The water in the beaker began to boil when it reached the temperature of
100'C. If Mario completes the same experiment with 25mL of water, what would happen to the boiling
point?
a) The water will not reach a boil.
b) The boiling point of water will increase.
c) The boiling point of water will decrease.
d) The boiling point of water will stay the same.
Explanation:
It would be C because It will have a lower activation energy than Trial A.
An object that is not already moving will begin to move in the direction of the larger force. An object that is already moving will change its speed and/or its direction.
