Concept explainers
The pH scale is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The scale ranges from 0 to 14. A neutral solution, such as pure miter, has a pH of 7. An acid solution has a pH less than 7 and an alkaline solution has a pH greater than 7. The lower the pH below 7, the more acidic is the solution. Each whole-number decrease in pH represents a tenfold increase in acidity.
The pH of a solution is given by
a. The figure indicates that lemon juice has a pH of 23. What is the hydrogen ion concentration?
b. Stomach acid has a pH that ranges from 1 to 3. What is the hydrogen ion concentration of the most acidic stomach?
c. How many times greater is the hydrogen ion concentration of the acidic stomach in part (b) than the lemon juice in part (a)?

- Heart Disease In a certain country, the number of deaths due to heart disease decreased from 235 in one year to 221 in the next year. What percentage decrease in deaths due to heart disease does this represent?arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardEmissions of sulfur dioxide by industry set off chemical changes in the atmosphere that result in "acid rain". The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 00 to 14.14. Distilled water has pH 7.0,7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so acid rain is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0.5.0. The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.435.43 and standard deviation 0.54.deviation 0.54. What proportion of rainy days have rainfall with pH below 5.0?5.0?arrow_forward
- Complete the table.arrow_forwardPrices of diamonds are determined by what is known as the 4 Cs: cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. The prices of diamonds go up as the carat weight increases, but the increase is not smooth. For example, the difference between the size of a 0.99-carat diamond and a 1-carat diamond is undetectable to the naked human eye, but the price of a 1-carat diamond tends to be much higher than the price of a 0.99 diamond. In this question, we use two random samples of diamonds, 0.99 carats and 1 carat, each sample of size 23, and compare the average prices of the diamonds. In order to be able to compare equivalent units, we first divide the price for each diamond by 100 times its weight in carats. That is, for a 0.99-carat diamond, we divide the price by 99. For a 1 carat diamond, we divide the price by 100. The distributions and some sample statistics are shown below I have attached the questions and the chart in the images section.
