What happens to the ph of a glass of water when you blow bubbles into it with a straw??

1 answer:

3 0

The ph decreases. W<span>hen you blow out, you exhale carbon dioxide gas, which is soluble in water. The dissolved CO2 (known as carbonic acid) is acidic, and therefore the pH will fall, but not significantly. You will never be able to measurably determine that there is a difference....at least not with pH testing strips. However, if you put a very small amount (just a few grains) of sodium carbonate in about 100 mL of water and add a drop of phenolthalein, the solution will turn pink, indicating that it is a base (a very weak one, about pH 8) Then, if you blow bubbles into the water with a straw for about 2 minutes, the solution will go from pink to clear, indicating that it is no longer a base. Your breath has neutralized the base.</span>

A 37.2-g sample of lead (Pb) pellets at 20Â°C is mixed with a 62.7-g sample of lead pellets at the same temperature. What are th

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Mass of sample is 99.9 g, density of ample is 11.35 $g/cm^{3}$ and temperature of sample is $20^{0}\textrm{C}$

Explanation:

Mass is an additive property. Therefore mass of combined sample is summation of masses of two pellets.

Mass of combined sample = (37.2+62.7) g = 99.9 g

Density is an intensive property. Therefore density of combined sample of lead will be same as with density of Pb.

Density of combined sample = 11.35 $g/cm^{3}$

Temperature is an intensive property. Therefore temperature of combined sample of lead will be same as with individual pellets.

temperature of combined sample = $20^{0}\textrm{C}$

What is the development of lymphocytes compared to other formed elements?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Lymphocytes and the other formed elements are developed from pluripotent stem cells. The pluripotent stem cells generate myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells. Myeloid cells start and complete their development in red bone marrow and give rise to red blood cells, platelets, eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, and monocytes. Lymphoid stem cells begin development in the red bone marrow, but some are completed in the lymphatic tissues, where they give rise to lymphocytes. The B cell lymphocytes begin and finish in the red bone marrow and the T cell lymphocytes begin in the red bone marrow, but they mature in the thymus.

Based on the molar masses, how can you tell that an equation is balanced?

Ilya [14]

When you work with molar mass, you solve for the quantity of ''Moles'' within the substance by converting Mass. The way you can tell the equation is balanced would be by knowing whether the moles were equivalent on both sides or not. Therefore, if they are equal, it is balanced considering you have the same amount of moles on each side of the equation.
