Answer:

7.5 pounds per square-inch

At sea level, one square-inch of any surface has about 15 pounds of air sitting on top of it. At 18,000 feet, that same square inch has only 7.5 pounds per square-inch (psi) exerted on it.

Calculate the concentration of OH- in a solution that contains 3.9 x 10-4 M H3O+ at 25°C. Identify the solution as acidic, basic
aalyn [17]

Answer:

[OH⁻] = 2,6x10⁻¹¹

Acidic

Explanation:

The kw in water is:

2 H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

kw = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺] = 1,00x10⁻¹⁴

If concentracion of H₃O⁺ is 3,9x10⁻⁴M:

[OH⁻] [3,9x10⁻⁴M] = 1,00x10⁻¹⁴

<em>[OH⁻] = 2,6x10⁻¹¹</em>

pH is defined as - log[H₃O⁺]. If pH>7,0 the solution is basic, if pH<7,0 solution is acidic, if pH=7,0 solution is neutral.

In this problem,

pH = - log [3,9x10⁻⁴M] = <em>3,4</em>

As pH is < 7.0, the solution is <em>acidic</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

vova2212 [387]
Hello!

The fission of an atom that has a large atomic number can be induced by bombarding the atom with neutrons.

Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy nucleus divides into two or more lighter nuclei. This reaction is induced by the bombarding of neutrons into the nucleus, making it unstable (like throwing an orange to a perfectly arranged orange pyramid at the supermarket). The unstable nucleus breaks down into lighter elements, releasing more neutrons which contribute to the chain reaction.

Have a nice day!

What substance is added during hydrolysis in order to break down food macromolecules?
TEA [102]
Hey there! :D

Look at the word hydrolysis. Hydro= water Lysis = split. (Root words) 

So, water (in terms of the word) is added to help split and breakdown macromolecules. 

I hope this helps!
