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.

Oxana [17]

The Answer is C. The outer shell electrons are the electrons which are involved with chemical reactions and bonding. All elements in the same group have different number of total electrons but ALL have the same number of outer shell electrons. This is why they exhibit similar chemical properties.

A clay vase on a potter's wheel experiences an angular acceleration of 5.69 rad/s2 due to the application of a 16.0-n m net torq

Digiron [165]

The equivalent of the Newton's second law for rotational motions is:
$\tau = I \alpha$
where
$\tau$ is the net torque acting on the object
$I$ is its moment of inertia
$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration of the object.

Re-arranging the formula, we get
$I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}$
and since we know the net torque acting on the (vase+potter's wheel) system, $\tau=16.0 Nm$ , and its angular acceleration, $\alpha = 5.69 rad/s^2$ , we can calculate the moment of inertia of the system:
$I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}= \frac{16.0 Nm}{5.69 rad/s^2} =2.81 kg m^2$

SUPER EASY POINTS!!!!!!!!!!

saw5 [17]

1.The gravity of Earth, denoted by g, is the net acceleration that is imparted to objects due to the combined effect of gravitation (from mass distribution within Earth) and the centrifugal force (from the Earth's rotation).

2.How does gravity work in space? Gravity is a very important force. Every object in space exerts a gravitational pull on every other, and so gravity influences the paths taken by everything traveling through space. It is the glue that holds together entire galaxies. It keeps planets in orbit.

3.Our weight on moon is less than it would be on Earth due to a difference of the strength of gravity on the moon. The moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. Since the moon has significantly less mass than the Earth, it will not pull objects toward itself at the strength that Earth will.

What about the atomic model shown below was shown incorrect?

charle [14.2K]

In an atom there are neutrons, protons and electrons. the number of protons is the atomic number . the number of neutron is the atomic mass minus atomic number. the number of electrons is the number of protons.protons and neutrons are located in the middle of the atom. and in the first ring (the ring closest to the middle) it can hold 2 electrons if there is more than two it will go to the second ring (the second ring from the middle of the atom) in the second ring it can hold eight if there is more than eight it will go to the third ring from the middle and the forth ring from the middle can hold 12 atoms . the symbol for proton = +
the symbol for neutron = it has no symbols
the symbol of electron = - .
