States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
![### pH Range Diagram
In this activity, you are asked to arrange the given aqueous solutions (aq) in order of their pH, from the highest pH (most basic) to the lowest pH (most acidic).
### Diagram Description:
The diagram features a vertical box with "Highest pH" labeled at the top and "Lowest pH" at the bottom. This box is intended to be filled with the labels of the provided solutions based on their pH values.
### Provided Solutions (from the Answer Bank):
- HCl(aq)
- Fe(ClO4)2(aq)
- NaClO4(aq)
- NaCN(aq)
- LiOH(aq)
### Instructions:
1. Determine the pH range of each given solution.
2. Drag and drop each solution label into the vertical box, arranging them from the highest pH (most basic) at the top to the lowest pH (most acidic) at the bottom.
By understanding the pH values of these solutions, you will gain insight into their acidic or basic nature. This exercise is vital in learning about acid-base chemistry and the properties of different ionic compounds in aqueous solutions.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3f33cc2f-0221-41a8-a3a2-cc96bc7960a2%2Fd438540d-5610-4868-8b8d-de727d4f9c4f%2Fisfbshm_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
