When the molecules of gases are heated, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases,

pH is a scale which measures the ratio of H+ ions to OH- ions to identify how acidic or basic a substance is. This is because acidic substances have high amounts of H+ ions and low amounts of OH- ions, and therefore have a higher ratio of H+ to OH- ions. (And vice versa for bases, low H+ to OH- ratio) On a pH scale, acidic substances have a pH of 0 to 7, water (neutral pH, not acidic nor basic) has a pH of 7, and bases have a pH of 7-14.

pOH is very similar to pH but measures the opposite: the ratio of OH- ions (indicative of a base) to H+ ions (indicative of an acid). Therefore the pH values are reversed on the scale: Basic substances have pOHs below 7, and acidic substances are above 7 on the pOH scale.

Fundamentally, these two scales measure the same thing is the same way, one just measures the ratio one way (H+:OH-), while the other measured them the other way (OH-:H+), resulting in flipped values on the scales:

pH: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

<---Acidic---> <------Basic------->

pOH: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

<----Basic----> <-----Acidic------->

Hope this helped!

A scientist plants two rows of corn for experimentation. She puts fertilizer on row 1 but does not put fertilizer on row 2. Both

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Q9. The independent variable in this experiment is the fertilizer. It is independent because she manipulating the variable to compare the growth.

Q10. The dependent variable in this experiment is the amount of growth of the corn. It is this because the growth depends on what the scientist did on the corn.

Q11. The variable controlled in this experiment is the amount of sun and water. These two variables never change so this is why it is the control.
