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.

Since water can be prepared in the laboratory
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

# In a familiar high-school chemistry demonstration, an instructor first uses electricity to split water into its constituent gases, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Then, by combining the two gases and igniting them with a spark, the instructor changes the gases back into water with a loud pop (That means the energy is released in the process).

# There are new other ways to produce water in laboratory, however, the scientists can not produce water in large quantity for the masses, because of some reasons.

1- Theoretically, this is possible, but it would be an extremely dangerous process. Since Hydrogen is extremely flammable and Oxygen supports combustion, it wouldn’t take much to create this force, but we also have an explosion. That’s why this process can be a deadly one if our experiment is big enough.

2- Personally, I think that it makes no sense to produce water in a laboratory ( or in a large plant) for people to use as daily water. The much more important thing we need to do is to save our environment, our planet Earth. Because the daily water people drink contains not just water molecules but other minerals, the marine life is depend not just in water molecules but diferent factors, etc.

This is just my personal opinion. Hope that can help you a little. Have a nice day

VA 19.75-g sample was heated by 12.35 calories. The specific heat of the sample is 0.125 cal/g°C. What was the initial temperatu
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

31.9 °C  

Explanation:

The formula for the heat q absorbed by an object is

q = mCΔT where ΔT = (T₂ - T₁)

Data:

q = 12.35 cal

m = 19.75 g

C = 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹

T₂ = 37.0 °C

Calculations

(a) Calculate ΔT

q = mCΔT

12.35 cal = 19.25 g × 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × ΔT

12.35 = 2.406ΔT °C⁻¹  

ΔT  = 12.35/(2.406 °C⁻¹) = 5.13 °C

(b) Calculate T₂

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₁ = T₂ - ΔT = 37.0 °C - 5.13 °C = 31.9 °C

The original temperature was 31.9 °C.
