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.

Statie electricity refers to the transfer of _______

Nezavi [6.7K]

Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged. ... The rubbing of certain materials against one another can transfer negative charges, or electrons.

Red light of wavelength 630 nm passes through two slits and then onto a screen that is 1.4 m from the slits. The center of the 3

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Part a)

$f = 4.76 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

$d = 3.48 \times 10^{-4} m$

Part c)

$\theta = 0.311 degree$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the speed of light is given as

$c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s$

$\lambda = 630 nm$

now the frequency of the light is given as

$f = \frac{c}{\lambda}$

so we have

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{630 \times 10^{-9}}$

$f = 4.76 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

Position of Nth maximum intensity on the screen is given as

$y_n = \frac{n\lambda L}{d}$

so here we know for 3rd order maximum intensity

$y_3 = 0.76 cm$

n = 3

L = 1.4 m

$0.76 \times 10^{-2} = \frac{3(630 \times 10^{-9})(1.4)}{d}$

$d = 3.48 \times 10^{-4} m$

Part c)

angle of third order maximum is given as

$d sin\theta = 3 \lambda$

$3.48 \times 10^{-4} sin\theta = 3(630 \times 10^{-9})$

$\theta = 0.311 degree$

Does a greater amount of force always result in a greater amount of work? Why or why not? Does moving an object a greater amount

Zina [86]

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I would say yes to the above question. Work done is the force applied multiplied by the distance travelled. Wd = F x d. So if d increases, Wd increases also. I hope the answer will help you.
