Answer: There are several ways. The first that comes to mind is a pH meter. A pH electrode Is lowered into the solution, and (Assuming) the pH Meter has been properly calibrated, and the temperature of the solution is set to the calibration of the Meter, the pH can be read directly from an analogue scale or digital readout. Below 7 is acidic, 7 is Neutral, (like Pure Water), and over 7 is Alkaline, or Basic.
A useful, but less accurate method is the use of any number of “pH Indicator Solutions”, which are essentially a type of various colored dyes that change color within differing pH ranges. Usually, if the pH is unknown, a small amount of solution is removed from the container and tested separately - in a “well plate”, or similar method.
These types of dyes, or Indicator Solutions, can be dried upon strips of “pH indicator Paper”, which, depending upon the type can be very useful when carrying out more precisely arrived at pH tests like Titration.
Just to see if a solution is “Acid” or “Base”, Litmus paper is used; “a Red color shows Acidity, and a Blue color, a Base”; ergo, “An Acid Solution will turn Litmus Paper, Red”.
Answer:
An atom that loses one or more valence electrons to become a positively charged ion is known as a cation, while an atom that gains electrons and becomes negatively charged is known as an anion.
Answer:
11.6 mol O₂
Explanation:
- C₇H₁₆ + 11 O₂ → 7 CO₂ + 8 H₂O
In order to solve this problem we need to <u>convert moles of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into moles of oxygen gas (O₂)</u>. To do so we'll use a conversion factor containing the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em> of the balanced reaction:
- 7.4 mol CO₂ *
= 11.6 mol O₂
Plasma technology is based on a simple physical principle. Matter changes its state when energy is supplied to it: solids becomes liquid, and liquids becomes gaseous. If even more energy is supplied to a gas, it is ionized and goes into the energy-rich plasma state, the fourth state of matter.ore than 99% of the visible matter in the universe is in the plasma state.
