Answer : The correct option is, (C) Add acid.

Explanation :

As we know that, the pH measures the acidity and basicity of a substance.

The pH range for acidic solution is, 0.1 to 6.9

The pH range for basic solution is, 7.1 to 14

For neutral solution the pH is, 7

As per question, the worker wants the pH of the swimming pool is, 7.2 that means slightly basic. But by testing the water, she found that the pH is, 9.2 that means highly basic. So, to correct the pH of swimming pool that is 7.2 she should add an acid into the water to overcome the basicity of the water.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) Add acid.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution is negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in the aqueous solution.

pH=-\log[H^+]

  • Higher the hydrogen ion concentration lower will be the pH.Hence, acidic
  • Lower the hydrogen ion concentration higher will be the pH.Hence, alkaline.

The pH of the pool = 9.2

9.2=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=6.3096\times 10^{-10} M

The pH of the pool desired by worker = 7.2

7.2=-\log[H^+]'

[H^+]'=6.3096\times 10^{-8} M

Hydrogen ion needed tom vahnge pH of the pool from 9.2 to 7.2 is

:[H^+]'-[H^+]=6.3096\times 10^{-8} M-6.3096\times 10^{-10} M

=6.2465\times 10^{-8} M

For hydrogen ions worker has to add acid which will give hydrogen ion in its aqueous from. Hence, correct answer is option C.

What is the name of this branched alkane?
melamori03 [73]
Branched chain alkanes

The alkanes don't contain a functional group and so the branches are numbered from the end that gives the lowest set of position numbers for the branches.

Use the above rules to see how the names of the alkanes below are built up.

The structure of 2-methylbutane is a butane molecule (C4H10) but with a methyl group (CH3) replacing a hydrogen on the second carbon atom in the chain. The structure of 3-methylpentane could be drawn as butane with an ethyl group (C2H5) replacing a hydrogen on the second carbon. Note that this is not 2-ethylbutane. The structure of 2,2-dimethylbutane is butane with two methyl groups replacing the two hydrogens on the second carbon.

what ph indicator is added to the simmons citrate agar? group of answer choices phenol red methylene green bromothymol blue litm
NikAS [45]

The most common pH indicator used in Simmons Citrate Agar is Bromthymol Blue (BTB)

Simmons Citrate Agar is a selective and differential medium used for the detection and differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae (gram-negative bacteria).

The medium contains sodium citrate as the sole carbon source, which is used to differentiate organisms based on their ability to utilize citrate as a sole carbon source.

The medium also contains pH indicators that change color based on the pH of the medium. The most common pH indicator used in Simmons Citrate Agar is Bromthymol Blue (BTB).

BTB is a pH indicator that turns yellow in acidic conditions and blue in basic conditions. As the bacteria metabolize the citrate in the medium, they produce acids, which cause the medium to become acidic.

This change in pH is detected by the BTB, which changes color from blue to yellow. The yellow coloration of the medium is an indication that the organism is utilizing citrate as a sole carbon source.

What molality of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte solute is needed to raise the boiling point of water by 7.10°c (kb = 0.520°c/m)?
faltersainse [42]
According to boiling point elevation equation:
Δ T = i Kb m
when ΔT (change in boiling point) = 7.10 C° 
and i (van't Hoff factor)= 1
and Kb = 0.520
so, by substitution:
7.10 = 1*0.520 *m
m = 7.1 / 0.52 = 13.65 m

1. Define the units for molarity. Page |152 Exp. 14 pH and Solutions Pre Lab Questions (1 of 1) 2. A solution contains 5.25 gram
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

1. mol/L

2. 0.120 M

Explanation:

1. Molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L.

2.

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of sodium chloride (solute): 5.25 g
  • Volume of solution (V): 750.0 mL = 0.7500 L

Step 2: Calculate the moles of solute (n)

The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol.

n = 5.25 g × 1 mol/58.44 g = 0.0898 mol

Step 3: Determine the molarity of the solution

We will use the definition of molarity

M = n/V

M = 0.0898 mol / 0.7500 L = 0.120 M
