Which statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0?

1 answer:

7 0

The statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0 is - The substance with the lower pH has 1,000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

pH is the scale or measure for the substance about its acidic or basic strength. It ranges from 0 to 6.9 which is acidic and 7.1 to 14 which is basic.

Acidic substance has high concentration of Hydrogen ions whereas, basic substance has low concentration of hydrogen ions, however for the OH⁻ ions it is reverse.

Concentration of hydrogen ions is inversely related to its pH
More hydrogen ions present, the lower the pH
The fewer hydrogen ions, the higher the pH We know,

pH = -log( $H^{+}$ ) then,

=> 3 = -log ( $H^{+}$ )

=> $H^{+}$ = (for pH = 3)

=> pH = -log( $H^{+}$ )

=> 6 = -log ( $H^{+}$ )

=> $H^{+}$ = $10^{-6}$ (for pH = 6)

Thus, The substance with the lower pH (3) has 1000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

What determines how much induced current will flow through a conductor?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Rate of change of magnetic flux

Explanation:

The induced current is equal to the ratio of induced emf to the resistance of the conductor.

According to the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

A particle of mass m moves under an attractive central force F(r) = -Kr4 with angular momentum L. For what energy will the motio

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Angular velocity is same as frequency of oscillation in this case.

ω = $\sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} }$ x $[\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}$

Explanation:

- write the equation F(r) = -K $r^{4}$ with angular momentum L

- Get the necessary centripetal acceleration with radius r₀ and make r₀ the subject.

- Write the energy of the orbit in relative to r = 0, and solve for "E".

- Find the second derivative of effective potential to calculate the frequency of small radial oscillations. This is the effective spring constant.

- Solve for effective potential

- ω = $\sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} }$ x $[\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}$

A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region

Annette [7]

Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.

Explanation: Z-score is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.

The z-score is calculated by the following:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

where

x is the data point

μ is population mean

σ is standard deviation

For the northern region birds:

μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13

$z=\frac{13-10}{3}$

z = 1

The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation above the mean.

For the southern region:

μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13

$z=\frac{13-16}{2.5}$

z = -1.2

The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations below the mean.

Describe a situation in your everyday life where you could use the scientific method. List all the steps of the scientific metho

emmainna [20.7K]

Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.

For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.

Observation (the state of defining a problem):

The car is not started

Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):

The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.

Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):

You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.

Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis

You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.

Draw conclusion:

The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.

Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.

Hope it helps!
