Chemistry
1 answer:
Basile [38]3 years ago

The answer is: b. Safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

Battery acid (sulfuric acid) has pH = 0.

Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong acid, it means that the solution of sufuric acid is more acidic (pH<7) than water (pH = 7).

Chemical dissociation of sulfuric acid in water:  

H₂SO₄(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).  

Sulfuric acid can come in contact with eyes and hands, so it is important to wear safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

As the temperature of a liquid increases, the solubility of a gas in the liquid
RoseWind [281]
The correct answer is B. Solubility describes the amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent. This value is not constant is affected by many factors. One factor is the temperature. An increase in temperature, a corresponding change in solubility also can be observed. The increase leads to a decrease in the solubility and the opposite. A decrease is observed since gas molecules are now has enough energy to escape the liquid phase and go to the gas phase.
