D. Add an appropriate amount of sodium hydroxide.

Usually, chemical processes require an optimum pH. This is the pH at which the desired chemical conversion gives  the maximum yield.

As we can see, the pH of the system is much higher than the optimum pH. We can decrease the pH to the optimum pH of 5.0 by adding an appropriate amount of  a base such as NaOH.

Hence, the pH can be brought to 5.0 from 6.5 by adding an appropriate amount of NaOH.

<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

Density = mass of gasoline/ volume of gasoline = (1</span>46.770 g -110.525 g ) / <span>50 ml = 0.7249 g/mL</span>
