It is not just lab chemicals but also common household substances that can be classified as acidic, basic, and neutral materials

Montano1993 [528]

Acidic: coffee, orange juice , soft drink, vinegar

Basic: Antacid, Baking soda, Detergent, Lye, Milk of Magnesia

Neutral: water, Sugar, Table salt.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acidic substances have high concentration of hydrogen ions and have pH value less than 7. Basic substances have high concentration of hydroxide ions and have pH value more than 7. Neutral substance have pH value 7. The concentration oh hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is equal.

Salt is formed when a acid reacts with base in a neutralization reaction. Different types of salt are formed depending upon the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Neutral salt is formed when concentration of hydrogen ion is equal to concentration of hydroxide ions.

Coffee, orange juice , soft drink, vinegar are acidic substances. Antacid, Baking soda, Detergent, Lye, Milk of Magnesia. water, Sugar, Table salt are neutral substances.

What kind of radiation is emitted in the following nuclear reaction

miv72 [106K]

Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.

Which optical instrument, a telescope, a microscope, or a camera, forms images in a way most like your eye? Explain.

Xelga [282]

Camera is an optical instrument that forms images in a way most like human eyes.

Explanation:

The eye consists of a small spherical globe of about 2 cm in diameter, which is free to rotate under the control of 6 extrinsic muscles. Light enters the eye through the transparent cornea, passes through the aqueous humor, the lens, and the vitreous humor, where it finally forms an image on the retina.

In case of a digital camera, CCD is used known as charged coupled device. CCD is actually in the shape of array or a rectangular grid. It is like a matrix with each cell in the matrix contains a censor that senses the intensity of photon. When light falls on the object , the light reflects back after striking the object and allowed to enter inside the camera which is then stored by CCD in the form of electric signals.

Similarities between eye and a camera:

Cornea and Lens - The cornea is the “cap” of the eye. This transparent (like clear jelly) structure sits to the front of the eye. The lens of a camera is also transparent (glass) and sits at the front of the body. Both allows light to enter and have spherical curvature.

Iris and aperture -The aperture is to the camera as the iris is to the eye. Both control the amount of light allowed to enter the eye or camera.

Retina and Film - The retina sits at the back of the eye and collects the light reflected from the surrounding environment to form the image. The same task in the camera is performed either by film or sensors in digital cameras.

Keywords: eye, camera, CCD, iris, film, aperture, cornea, lens, image formation

200 mL of an ideal gas is placed in a piston and is held at a pressure of 500 torr. If the temperature is held constant and the

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

V₂=153.84 m L

Explanation:

Given that

Initial volume ,V₁ = 200 m L

Initial pressure ,P₁= 500 torr

Final pressure P₂ = 650 torr

Lets take the final volume =V₂

Given that process occurs at constant temperature and we know that for constant temperature process

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

$V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}$

Now by putting the values

$V_2=\dfrac{500\times 200}{650}\ mL$

V₂=153.84 m L

Therefore the new volume of the gas will be 153.8 4mL.

A dolphin jumps out of the water. As it falls back down it a clerated at a rate of -9,8m/s^2 for 0.8 seconds of free fall. To ca

Anettt [7]

Answer:

0.196 m

Explanation:

Given in the question that,

time taken by the dolphin to go back to water = 0.2 sec

To solve the question we will use Newton's Law of motion

here S is distance covered

u is initial speed

a = acceleration due to gravity

t = time taken

Plug value in the equation above

S = 0(0.2) + 0.5(-9.8)(0.2)²

S = 0.5(-9.8)(0.2)²

S = -0.196 m

Negative sign represent direction

(Assuming that dolphin have a vertical straight jump not a projectile motion)
