Answer:
The resulting pH will be greater than 7 because potassium hydroxide is less concentrated than the hydrochloric acid.

Answer:
B) sand
Explanation:
A) Oil is a wrong choice because it is a liquid not a solid and also if it is oil, it will float over the water surface as a droplets.
B) Sand is the right choice, because sand is a solid and it does not dissolve in water and stabilizes at the bottom.
C) Sugar is a wrong choice, because small amount of sugar will dissolve in water and be a homogeneous solution and does not appear as a particles.
D) Wood ships is also a wrong choice, even it is a solid and does not dissolve in water, but it will float over the water surface.
Answer:
C. A series circuit has only one loop and a parallel circuit has two or more loops for the current to flow through
Explanation:
A circuit that are made of one loop is called series circuit. On the other hand, the parallel circuit has at least two loops. The circuit type has nothing to do with open or closed circuit.
If any part of the series circuit got cut, the current will stop flowing since there is only one loop. A parallel circuit has more loop so the circuit might still work even if a part of the circuit got cut.
Answer:
pH =3.8
Explanation:
Lets call the monoprotic weak acid HA, the dissociation equilibria in water will be:
HA + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻ with Ka = [ H₃O⁺] x [A⁻]/ [HA]
The pH is the negative log of the H₃O⁺ concentration, we know the equilibrium constant, Ka and the original acid concentration. So we will need to find the [H₃O⁺] to solve this question.
In order to do that lets set up the ICE table helper which accounts for the species at equilibrium:
HA H₃O⁺ A⁻
Initial, M 0.40 0 0
Change , M -x +x +x
Equilibrium, M 0.40 - x x x
Lets express these concentrations in terms of the equilibrium constant:
Ka = x² / (0.40 - x )
Now the equilibrium constant is so small ( very little dissociation of HA ) that is safe to approximate 0.40 - x to 0.40,
7.3 x 10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.40 ⇒ x = √( 7.3 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.40 ) = 1.71 x 10⁻³
[H₃O⁺] = 1.71 x 10⁻³
Indeed 1.71 x 10⁻³ is small compared to 0.40 (0.4 %). To be a good approximation our value should be less or equal to 5 %.
pH = - log ( 1.71 x 10⁻³ ) = 3.8
Note: when the aprroximation is greater than 5 % we will need to solve the resulting quadratic equation.
