The number of protons in an atoms determines the atoms identity. Electrons determine the electrical charge.
Answer:
Plants and animals are pH sensitive. The growth of plants is dependent on the nature of the soil. If the pH of the soil is greater than 7 and is alkaline, then the plants cannot grow in the soil.
Explanation:
The correct answer is: [D]: " milk " .
__________________________________________________________
Choice [A]: "soil" is incorrect; since "soil" is "heterogeneous" {composed of many different "ingredients" .].

Same with "Choice [B]: "granola" [composed of many different ingredients—clumps of sweetened oats, raisins, coconuts, etc.].
__________________________________________________________
Same with "Choice [C]: "salad dressing". {Notice how we usually have to "shake the bottle" ? Composed of multiple ingredients, (e.g. oil, vinegar, and spices, or oil and other spices, and more ingredientes).
__________________________________________________________
Choice: [D]: "milk", as a liquid, is a single, well-mixed, uniform, mixture; as such, it is "homogeneous". Note: "homo-" means "same".

Answer:
H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻
CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻
b. CaCl₂
Explanation:
When H₃PO₄ is dissolved in water, there are produced the H⁺ and PO₄³⁻ ions. The equation is:
H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻
In the same way, CaSO₄ is dissolved in:
CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻
b. Now, in a reaction of an acid (HCl) and a base (Ca(OH)₂), water, H₂O and a salt are produced:
2 HCl + Ca(OH)₂ → 2H₂O + Salt
The ions that are not present in the reaction are Cl⁻ and Ca²⁺, the salt is CaCl₂ and the balanced reaction is:
2 HCl + Ca(OH)₂ → 2H₂O + CaCl₂
Answer:
the particles, molecules, and gas range from smallest to largest in the following order: electron < proton < atom <...
