Answer:

Hydrogen ions are spontaneously generated in pure water by the dissociation (ionization) of a small percentage of water molecules into equal numbers of hydrogen (H+) ions and hydroxide (OH–) ions. The hydroxide ions remain in solution because of their hydrogen bonds with other water molecules; the hydrogen ions, consisting of naked protons, are immediately attracted to un-ionized water molecules and form hydronium ions (H30+). By convention, scientists refer to hydrogen ions and their concentration as if they were free in this state in liquid water.

The concentration of hydrogen ions dissociating from pure water is 1 × 10-7 moles H+ ions per liter of water. The pH is calculated as the negative of the base 10 logarithm of this concentration:

The negative log of 1 × 10-7 is equal to 7.0, which is also known as neutral pH. Human cells and blood each maintain near-neutral pH.

pH Scale

The pH of a solution indicates its acidity or basicity (alkalinity). The pH scale is an inverse logarithm that ranges from 0 to 14: anything below 7.0 (ranging from 0.0 to 6.9) is acidic, and anything above 7.0 (from 7.1 to 14.0) is basic (or alkaline ). Extremes in pH in either direction from 7.0 are usually considered inhospitable to life. The pH in cells (6.8) and the blood (7.4) are both very close to neutral, whereas the environment in the stomach is highly acidic, with a pH of 1 to 2.

1. Is this equation balanced? Explain your answer. Na + Cl2 → NaCl ?
Delvig [45]

It is not balanced since there are 2 Cl molecules on the left side, and only 1 on the right side. In order to balance this, you would need to make sure there are the same amount of all the molecules on both sides...

4Na + 2Cl2 = 4NaCl


Hope this helps :)

which of the following methods can be used to increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules of an object?
stealth61 [152]

KE = 1/2 m v^2

If you increase the mass and the speed remains constant, then that will increase the KE. The KE formula has mass as one of its components.

If you increase the temperature, of the speed will increase (v will increase).  If v gets larger, the KE get's larger.

Answer: A and D
