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.

Why are infrared waves located between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum?
dangina [55]

Answer: The infra red waves is located between microwave and visible light based on their WAVELENGTH and FREQUENCY of occurrence.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not require or need a material medium for its propagation, but they are able to travel through a vacuum. They exhibit or show all properties associated or connected with light. They are undeflected in electric and magnetic fields. These electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of their FREQUENCY and WAVELENGTHS which is known as ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM.

FREQUENCY is defined as the number of cycles which the wave completes in one second and is measured in Hertz(Hz). While WAVELENGTH is defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of waves which is measured in meter (m).

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of the following rays which is arranged from the biggest wavelengths to the smallest:

--> Radiowaves

--> microwave :

--> infrared rays:

--> visible light:

--> ultraviolet rays

--> x-rays and

--> Gamma rays.

According to the arrangement of the spectrum above, the microwave has a higher wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays, while the visible light has a lower wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays.

A base is a substance that's the chemical opposite of an acid.<br> True or false
anygoal [31]

True

Explanation:

A base is a substance that is often used as the chemical opposite of an acid.

Both behaves in opposite way to one another.

They can be said to complementary or conjugate chemicals.

  • According to Bronsted-Lowry  theory, an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor.
  • The lewis theory states that an acid is an electron pair acceptor while a base is an electron pair donor.
  • Acids turn blue litmus paper red and bases turns red litmus paper blue.

What electrons are in “motion”, what do you have?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

When a positive charged object is placed near a conductor electrons are attracted the the object. ... When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side. As you know, electrons are always moving. They spin very quickly around the nucleus of an atom. As the electrons zip around, they can move in any direction, as long as they stay in their shell.

Which of these is an example of a mechanical wave?
OLga [1]
Your answer is A, Ocean Waves- because A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. Ocean waves do just that :)

maxonik [38]

Answer: work must be done on the system  (Option A)

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics is the fundamental law of nature; it states that energy can be transferred from cold objects to hot objects only, if work is done on the system. If energy is added to the system then as a result the thermal energy would increase. Second law of thermodynamics is used to determine whether a process is spontaneous or not.  Moreover,the second law of thermodynamics is also used in refrigerators.
