The neutral pH is 7. Less than 7 indicates an acid and more than 7 indicates a base (up to 14).
<span> NaCl - it's a salt (we can't measure the pH)
H2O - it can be an acid but also a base  (the pH it is almost neutral,meaning close to 7 )
HF - it is a strong acid
</span><span> KOH  - it is a strong base (pH=14)
</span>
                        ↓

He needs to use HF (Hydrogen fluoride) to decrease the pH.

HF is the answer because it is an acid so it decreases overall ph. Did you understand?

Sav [38]

Answer:

Option A; ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

Explanation:

A red supergiant star is a larger and brighter type of red giant star. Red supergiants are often variable stars and are between 200 to 2,000 times bigger than the Sun. Example is Betelgeuse.

Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars, it has a diameter of about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles, it emits almost 7,500 times as much energy as the Sun, it has a rather low surface temperature (6000F compared to the Sun's 10,000F); this means that it has a more cooler surface than the Sun's surface.

This low temperature also means that the star will appear orange-red in color, and the combination of size and temperature makes it a kind of star called a red super giant.

Although, all the statements above are correct, the only one that can be inferred from the red color of Betelgeuse is that ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

Consider a long, closely wound solenoid with 10,000 turns per meter. What current, in amperes, is needed in the solenoid to prod
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.4344A

Explanation:

From Ampere's law, it can be shown that the magnetic field B inside a long solenoid is

B= \mu_0NI

Where

B= Magnetic field strenght at distance d

I= current

\mu_0 =Permeability of free space (4\pi*10^{-7} Tm/A)

N= Number of loops

Our values are defined as follow,

N=10000

B=5.25*10^{-5}T

B'=5.25*10^{-5} * 104 = 5.46*10^{-3}T

As a current required to become 104 times the Earth's magnetic field is required, we use B '

B'= \mu_0NI

5.46*10^{-3}=4\pi*10^{-7}*10000*I

I=\frac{5.46*10^{-3}}{4\pi*10^{-7}*10000}

I=0.4344A

<em>Therefore is needed 0.4344A in the solenoid to produce a magnetic field inside the solenoid, near its center, that is 104 times the Earth's magnetic field.</em>

What is the magnitude of the acceleration that is produced when the brakes of a 2.4 x 103 kg car apply a 3.2 x 103 N force to st
andriy [413]

Answer:

B 1.3 m/s2

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force. This in form of an equation is F = m*a

Since you want to know the acceleration, you have to solve for a

F = m*a

a = F / m

and now you substitute the data

a = 3.2x10^3 N / 2.4x10^3 kg

a = 1.3 m/s^2

A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut    <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired
