Answer:
pH measures ratio of H+ ions to OH- ions of substances
pOH measures ratio of OH- ions to H+ ions of substances
Explanation:
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!
Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Condensation is defined as the process in which vapors or gaseous phase changes into liquid phase.
Freezing is the process in which liquid phase changes into solid phase.
Evaporation is the process in which liquid phase changes into vapors or gaseous phase.
Melting is the process in which solid phase changes into liquid phase.
Therefore, we can conclude that names for given phase changes A and B is that A is condensation and B is freezing.
The answer is A.
A pure substance is pure, so it cannot be separated in most cases.

Explanation:
Electrons transition between energy levels in an atom due to gain or loss of energy. An electron may gain energy and move from its ground state to one of the accessible excited states. The electron quickly returns to ground state, emitting the energy previously absorbed as a photon of light. The wavelength of light emitted is measured using powerful spectrometers.
Atoms can be excited thermally or by irradiation with light of appropriate frequency.

Explanation:
Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows. Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution.
