Answer:

D. increase of carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Breathing is automatic and is controlled subconsciously by respiratory center at base of brain. It continues during the time of the sleep and even when the person is not in conscious. Sensory organs in brain and in aorta and  the carotid arteries monitor blood and sense the oxygen and the carbon dioxide levels. <u>Usually, increased concentration of the carbon dioxide is the strongest stimulus for the breathing to occur more deeply and more frequently.  </u>

When carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is high, the brain increases the frequency and the depth of breaths.

1. Lemon juice (pH 2.2) = Acidic

2. Salt solution (pH 7) = Neutral

3. Baking soda (pH 9) = Alkaline

4. Bleach (pH 13) = Alkaline

5. Tomato juice (pH 4) = Acidic

6. Gastric juices (pH 1) = Acidic

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is. The pH scale ranges from <u>0 to 14.</u>

A pH of 7 is neutral.

Acidic substances have pH less than 7.

Alkaline(Base) substances have a pH greater than 7

Hence, the given samples can be categorized as acidic, basic or neutral based on their pH values.

1. Lemon juice (pH 2.2 < 7) = Acidic

2. Salt solution (pH 7 = 7) = Neutral

3. Baking soda (pH 9 > 7) = Alkaline

4. Bleach (pH 13 >7) = Alkaline

5. Tomato juice (pH 4 < 7) = Acidic

6. Gastric juices (pH 1 < 7) = Acidic

How many liters of chlorine gas can react with 56.0 grams of calcium metal at standard temperature and pressure? Show all of the
Doss [256]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>Ca + Cl2 =  CaCl2
</span>
We are given the amount of calcium metal to be used for this reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations.

56 g Ca ( 1 mol Ca / 40.08 g Ca) (1 mol Cl2 / 1 mol Ca) ( 22.414 L Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2 ) = 31.32 L Cl2 gas produced from the reaction

What is Haber's process? Write it with chemical reaction.​
Lana71 [14]

Answer: Habers process is the industrial process used for the production of ammonia

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

Explanation:

Habers process is the industrial process used for the production of ammonia. It uses hydrogen from natural gas and nitrogen mainly from atmosphere under extremely high pressures (150-200atm) and moderately high temperatures (400-450^0C).

The catalyst used in Habers process is iron.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

compute the mass-specific enthalpy change associated with Nz that is undergoing a change in state from 400 k to 800 k
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The correct answer is "430 kJ/kg". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

T₁ = 400 k

T₂ = 800 k

The average temperature will be:

= \frac{T_1+T_2}{2}

= \frac{400+800}{2}

= 600 \ k

From table,

At 600 k the C p will be = 1.075

Now,

⇒ The specific enthalpy = Cp(T_2-T_1)

⇒                                \Delta h=1.075 (800-700)

⇒                                      =430 \ kJ/kg
