A student measures the pH of a solution to be 6.8. Which should the student add if she wants to decrease the pH of the solution? NaCl H2O HF KOH

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

c or d

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we have to get the partial neutralization of the acid, and it is possible only if we add an hydroxide

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

so c

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

option C is an acid

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

oh ok then D KOH

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

Thank You!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

:)

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

one more

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

As heat is added to a tube of gas, which is the most likely phase transition to occur in the tube? gas to plasma gas to liquid gas to solid gas to element

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that if we add heat, then options B and C can not be possible

OpenStudy (sachintha):

It should be turned to plasma.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think so! Since an ionization of the molecules of the gas it is possible

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

depending on the quantity of heat I am adding to the gas

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

generally the ionization of a gas is obtained by means of the collisions among the molecules of that gas with a beam of accelerated electrons

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think it is option A, nevertheless I'm not sure

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Agree. Giving enough heat will turn the gas to plasma by increasing collisions.
