It is not advisable to differentiate acids and bases through taste because some are toxic and inedible. But for those that are safe to ingest, acid tastes sour like vinegar and lemonade. Alkaline or basic solutions taste bitter like if you'vetried tasting soap detergent as you peel it open with your teeth.

Acid is a molecule capable of donating hydrogen ion and they form aqueous solutions with a sour taste while base is a substance that accepts proton from proton donor and in aqueous solution, they have an astringent or bitter taste. Moreover, a good example for base is sodium hydrogen carbonate as baking soda or baking powder and for acid, the most common example is the acetic acid or vinegar.

Hello, everyone!

Answer: 27.09 ppm and 0.003 %.

First, for air pollutants, ppm refers to parts of steam or gas per million parts of contaminated air, which can be expressed as cm³ / m³. Therefore, we must find the volume of CO that represents 35 mg of this gas at a temperature of -30 ° C and a pressure of 0.92 atm.

Note: we consider 35 mg since this is the acceptable hourly average concentration of CO per cubic meter m³ of contaminated air established in the "National Ambient Air Quality Objectives". The volume of these 35 mg of gas will change according to the atmospheric conditions in which they are.

So, according to the law of ideal gases,

PV = nRT

where P, V, n and T are the pressure, volume, moles and temperature of the gas in question while R is the constant gas (0.082057 atm L / mol K)

The moles of CO will be,

n = 35 mg x $\frac{1 g}{1000 mg}$ x $\frac{1 mol}{28.01 g}$

→ n = 0.00125 mol

We clear V from the equation and substitute P = 0.92 atm and

T = -30 ° C + 273.15 K = 243.15 K

V = $\frac{0.00125 mol x 0.082057 \frac{atm L}{mol K} x 243 K}{0.92 atm}$

→ V = 0.0271 L

As 1000 cm³ = 1 L then,

V = 0.0271 L x $\frac{1000 cm^{3} }{1 L}$ = 27.09 cm³

Then the acceptable concentration c of CO in ppm is,

c = 27 cm³ / m³ = 27 ppm

To express this concentration in percent by volume we must consider that 1 000 000 cm³ = 1 m³ to convert 27.09 cm³ in m³ and multiply the result by 100%:

c = 27.09 $\frac{cm^{3} }{m^{3} }$ x $\frac{1 m^{3} }{1 000 000 cm^{3} }$ x 100%

c = 0.003 %

So, the acceptable concentration of CO if the temperature is -30 °C and pressure is 0.92 atm in ppm and as a percent by volume is 27.09 ppm and 0.003 %.

a chemist studies two forms of refined gasoline. which of the following branches of chemistry might the chemist us?

valentinak56 [21]

The branch of chemistry that the chemist might use will be the branch of organic chemistry. This is because gasoline is an organic compound. We can say that a compound is organic if it contains a carbon atom. Gasoline is composed of long chains of alkanes (hydrocarbons with single bonds) ranging from 4 carbon atoms to 12 carbon atoms.
