The water at the nearest lake is a good buffer than water from the tap.

<h3>Buffer solutions</h3>

A buffer solution is a solution that has the ability to resist the pH change of the solution because it either contains a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

Examples of naturally containing buffer solution is the blood which contains bicarbonate as a buffering system that maintains its pH.

In the lake, there are presence of shoreline buffer which is a strip of natural vegetation along the shoreline of a lake. It creates a natural buffer system that helps resist the acidifying effect of additional acid rainfall.

Therefore, the water at the nearest lake is a good buffer than water from the tap.

During a 4 hour trip, a boat sailed 70 km in 2 h. Then the boat did not move for 1 hour and traveled 26 km in the last hour. Wha
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

32km/hr

Explanation:

The question asks to calculate the average speed for a boat.

Mathematically, the average speed is the total distance divided by the total time

Let’s get the total distance traveled:

That would be 70km + 26km = 96km

Now the total time taken would be 3 as the boat did not move at all for an hour.

The average speed is thus 96/3 = 32km/hr

Leonard designed a parallel circuit to light two light bulbs. But his circuit doesn’t work. Which two items in the circuit must
klasskru [66]

Answer : When a parallel circuit is built the voltage across each of the components remains the same, also the total current passed is the equal to sum of the currents passing through each components in the circuits.


When 2 or more components are tried to be connected in parallel they maintain the same potential difference (in voltage) across their ends of the circuit.


The potential differences across the components are the observed to be same in magnitude, and they have identical polarities between them.


Then, this same voltage is applicable to all circuit components connected in parallel.


So, if each bulb is wired to the battery in a separate loop, the bulbs will be in parallel series.
