The pH = 2.41

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid

the density of white  vinegar is 1.007 g/cm3

Required

pH

Solution

Molarity of solution :

\tt M=\dfrac{\%mass\times \rho\times 10}{MW~acetic~acid}\\\\M=\dfrac{5\times 1.007\times 10}{60}\\\\M=0.839

Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

[H⁺] for weak acid :

\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{Ka.M}

Input the value :

\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times 0.839}\\\\(H^+]=0.00388=3.88\times 10^{-3}\\\\pH=3-log~3.88=2.41

Potassium hydroxide is classified as an arrhenius base because koh contains
mixas84 [53]

Answer: hydroxide ions

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion  and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

As KOH can give hydroxide ions on dissociation , it is considered as arrhenius base.

Answer:

Explanation:

Na react with H2O to form NAOH

2 Na+2H2O....................2NAOH + H2

Ca react with water and form calcium hydroxide

Ca + 2H2O........................Ca(OH)2

Mg react with water and form Magnesium hydroxide

Mg +2H2O .........................Mg(OH)2 however this coating of mg(oh)2 prevent it from further reaction

 Fe react with water and form ferric hydride

3Fe +H2O.......................2 FeH +FeO

The radioactivity of U-235 is of low intensity. Why then were the people of Hiroshima exposed to high intensity radiation in the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

What occurred then is as a result of nuclear fission. This occurs as the Uranium-235 split into two smaller nuclei while releasing high energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard existing U-235 in the atmosphere and this reaction continue in a spontaneous manner until a chain reaction is formed of U-235, whose fall out fills the environment. This process was what led to people been exposed to high intensity radiation in the days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped.
