Answer:
Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.
Explanation:
-Air becomes increasingly thinner with increasing altitudes.
-As such, oxygen becomes limited at higher altitudes and makes it difficult or almost impossible to breath a condition called hypoxia.
-Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.
Answer:
a) acidic; [H+] = 10^-2.5 = 3 x 10^-3
b) basic; [H+] = 10^-11.7 = 2 x 10^-12
c) slightly acidic (almost neutral); [H+] = 10^-6.8 = 1.6 x 10^-7
d) acidic; [H+] = 10^-3.31 = 4.9 x 10^-4
Explanation:
pH < 7 is acidic; pH > 7 is basic; pH = 7 is neutral
[H+] = 10^-pH
