A student uses an indicator to measure the pH of a solution. The indicator shows a pH of 7. What must be true of this solution?

2 answers:

8 0

A pH of 7 is known as "natural"

A pH below 7 is an acid

A pH above 7 is a base

Acids give up hydrogen ions, shown as H+
Bases accept H+, hydrogen ions.

Equilibrium is when a chemical reaction doesn't favor the reactants or products and can go in reverse.
pH of 7 are related to Equilibrium.

With the info I have given you, it's obviously not one of the last 2 you listed.

pH measures the alkalinity and acidity of a solution by the Hydrogen ions, H+. Therefore, the solution has to have Hydrogen ions to react/be measured by the pH paper.

Therefore, your answer is the 2nd statement.
The solution has equal amounts of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions.

Answer:

The solution has equal amounts of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions.

Explanation:

From the very beginning it is clear that answer choices 3 and 4 are incorrect, as a pH of 7 means it is neutral.

The pH of anything being 7 (neutral) means it is neither an acid (1-6) nor a base (8-14).

This essentially levels things out meaning that there will be an equal amount.

Which of the following observations represent conclusive evidence of an interaction? (Select all that apply.)

9966 [12]

Answer:

a,b,d and e are correct.

Explanation:

a) Change of temperature without change of velocity is a conclusive evidence of an interaction. As the temperature of a body will only change if heat energy is flows in or out of the body with surrounding. So, option a) is correct.

b) Change of the direction without change of speed is an evidence of an interaction. The direction changes when the object is under a perpendicular acceleration acceleration which clearly means the particle is interacting or external force applied. So, option b is correct.

d) Change of shape or configuration without change of velocity is conclusive evidence of an interaction. The shape can change only if external stress is applied on the particle. So, Option d is correct.

e) Change of identity without change of velocity is a conclusive evidence of an interaction. The identity of an object can only change if it interacts with surroundings. So, option e is correct

Therefore the only incorrect option is c .

Isla made a diagram to compare X-rays and radio waves.

pickupchik [31]

A: Has a higher frequency --> X-rays

B: Travels at the same speed --> Both

C: Has a longer wavelength --> Radio waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ ) in a vacuum, and they are transverse in nature (the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of propagation).

Electromagnetic waves are classified into different types according to their wavelength and frequency. In order from shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency, since frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength), we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Therefore, we can no says that:

X-rays: has a higher frequency than Radio waves

Radio waves: have a longer wavelength than x-rays

Both: they travel at the same speed

Therefore, the correct pairing is:

A: Has a higher frequency --> X-rays

B: Travels at the same speed --> Both

C: Has a longer wavelength --> Radio waves

Please explain what is a Energy is

professor190 [17]

Answer:

<h2><u>The capacity or power to do work/ The ability to do work. </u></h2>

Explanation:

such as the capacity to move an object (of a given mass) by the application of force. Energy can exist in a variety of forms, such as electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, or nuclear, and can be transformed from one form to another

I hope this help:)

Pumping of groundwater in California most effectively: Select one:

maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ans- A, causes sediments in aquifers that are emptied to compact and the ground above it to sink.

This is one of the major problems for California nowadays. Due to excessive groundwater pumping to satisfy the demand of huge population the aquifers are drying, hence compacting and for that the land above sinks.
