Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, HCl is a strong acid, therefore, it dissociates completely in solution.

To know the quantity of water we need to add, we first need to know the concentration of the acid with pH = 6:

[H⁺] = antlog(-pH)

[H⁺] = antlog(-6) = 1x10⁻⁶ M

This means that the concentration is being diluted.

Now, even if we add great quantities of water, and the concentration and volume change, there is one time that do not change despite the quantity of water added; this is the moles. So, all we have to do, is calculate the moles of the acid in the 1 mL of water, and then, the volume of the acid when it's dilluted:

moles HCl = 0.1 * (1/1000) = 1x10⁻⁴ moles

Now that we have the moles, we can calculate the volume which the acid with the lowest concentration has:

V = mol/M

V = 1x10⁻⁴ / 1x10⁻⁶

V = 100 L

This means that we need to add 99.999 mL of water

Which statement about carbon dioxide (CO2) is correct?
Zanzabum

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The carbon-oxygen double bond is polar.

However, carbon dioxide is a linear molecule. The two dipoles cancel out each other.

Thus, carbon dioxide is a non polar molecule with polar bond.

Which of the following statements is generally TRUE?
Vesnalui [34]

The correct answer is option d, that is, the solubility of a solid is highly dependent on temperature.  

Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a component, which will get dissolved in a given concentration of solvent at a particular temperature. The temperature influences the solubility of both gases and solids. The temperature has a direct influence on solubility.  

For most of the ionic solids, enhancing the temperature elevates how briskly the solution can be formed. With the increase in temperature, the movement of the solid particles takes place briskly that enhances the chances that they will associate with the majority of the solvent particles. This leads to enhancing the rate at which the solution takes place.

lara [203]

Answer : Hypothesis.

Explanation : Hypothesis is defined as the supposition or proposed explanation which can be made on the basis of limited available evidence as a starting point for further investigation. Here, in this question the proposed explanation for the changing colors of the sky is an example of a hypothesis.

A hypothesis has to be supported with scientific experiments which are reproducible by several experiments and test results have to be valid to be called as a scientific theory.
