The difference between a pH of 5 and a pH of 8 is

Kaylis [27]2 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is - D) 1000x.

Explanation:

pH is a logarithmic scale, 1 reading change leads to the results in ten-fold in the   H+ concentration in acidity/basicity. The more  H +  ions found in solution, the more acidic the substance is as acids donate  H +  ions.  

You can calculate the concentration of  H +  from the pH and the equation  

p H  = − log [ H + ]

arrange again

[ H + ]  =  10 − p H

So for a pH of 8, we get  [ H + ]  = 10 ^− 8

For a pH of 5, we get  [ H + ] = 10^ − 5

 10 ^−5  /10 ^− 8= 10 ^3

=  1000

Which organ eliminates materials from the body by metabolism them rather than by excretion? which organ eliminates materials fro
harkovskaia [24]
The organ is the LUNGS.
The lungs excrete carbon dioxide and water vapour through metabolism. 
The lungs are used for breathing in humans, through the lungs we take in oxygen which is carried by the blood to all the part of the body and we exhale carbon dioxide which is a waste product generated as a result of the reactions that occur in the body.

List and describe the most important erosional and depositional features of a river and how these features form.
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Meanders

As the river makes its way to the middle course, it gains more water and therefore more energy, so material can be carried in suspension and is used to erode the river banks. Lateral erosion starts to widen the river. When a river flows over flatter land it develops large bends called meanders.

As a river goes around a bend, most of the water is pushed towards the outside. This causes increased speed due to less friction and therefore increased erosion (through hydraulic action and abrasion).

The lateral erosion on the outside bend causes undercutting of the river bank to form a river cliff.

There is less water on the inside bend of a meander so friction causes the water to slow down, lose energy and deposit the material the river is carrying, creating a gentle slope.

The build-up of deposited sediment is known as a slip-off slope (or sometimes river beach).

The fast current on the outside bank causes lateral erosion, creating a river cliff. The slow current on the inside bank causes deposition, creaitng a slip-off slope.

Oxbow lakes

Due to erosion on the outside of a bend and deposition on the inside, the shape of a meander will change over a period of time. Erosion narrows the neck of the land within the meander and as the process continues, the meanders move closer together. When there is a very high discharge (usually during a flood), the river cuts across the neck, taking a new, straighter and shorter route. Deposition will occur to cut off the original meander, leaving a horseshoe-shaped oxbow lake.

Erosion makes the neck narrow. During floods, the river takes the shortest course through the neck. The river has a new straighter course and the abandoned meander is called an oxbow lake.

How would damage to the left posterior column affect you?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Posterior column mediates a pathway called as posterior column medial lemniscus pathway in central nervous which is responsible for mediating certain sensations like touch, vibration etc. Damage to the left posterior column unable to transmit signals to the primary somatosensory cortex in the gyrus and parietal  lobe of the brain.

Explanation:

  • The spinal cord and cerebrum is connected by some specialized tract called as white matter tract. These tracts are either ascending or descending.
  • The another name of ascending pathway is known as medial lemniscus pathway.
  • The origin of this pathway takes place within posterior column of the spinal cord.
  • Posterior column medial lemniscus pathway is important as it transmit signals to the cerebrum which is responsible for generating impulse like vibration, touch etc.
  • Thus damage to this column can't be able to transmit signals to different parts of cerebrum and thus impulse like touch, vibration,pressure etc will not generate.
