Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?

Mice21 [21]

In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between weak bases and strong acids, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion, while the cation from the weak base will donate a proton to the water forming a hydronium ion.

Consider the Uniform Circular Motion Gizmo configured as shown. Notice that, under the current settings, |a|=0.50m/s2. What chan

Eddi Din [679]

To increase the centripetal acceleration to $2.00 m/s^2$ , you can double the speed or decrease the radius by 1/4

Explanation:

An object is said to be in uniform circular motion when it is moving at a constant speed in a circular path.

The acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is called centripetal acceleration, and it is given by

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v is the speed of the object

r is the radius of the circular path

In the problem, the original centripetal acceleration is

$a=0.50 m/s^2$

We want to increase it by a factor of 4, i.e. to

$a'=2.00 m/s^2$

We notice that the centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed and inversely proportional to the radius, so we can do as follows:

- We can double the speed:

v' = 2v

This way, the new acceleration is

$a'=\frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a$
