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)?

- Write the equation line shown on the graph in slope, intercept form.arrow_forward1.2.15. (!) Let W be a closed walk of length at least 1 that does not contain a cycle. Prove that some edge of W repeats immediately (once in each direction).arrow_forward1.2.18. (!) Let G be the graph whose vertex set is the set of k-tuples with elements in (0, 1), with x adjacent to y if x and y differ in exactly two positions. Determine the number of components of G.arrow_forward
- 1.2.17. (!) Let G,, be the graph whose vertices are the permutations of (1,..., n}, with two permutations a₁, ..., a,, and b₁, ..., b, adjacent if they differ by interchanging a pair of adjacent entries (G3 shown below). Prove that G,, is connected. 132 123 213 312 321 231arrow_forward1.2.19. Let and s be natural numbers. Let G be the simple graph with vertex set Vo...

Let e be an edge appearing an odd number of times in a closed walk W. Prove that W contains the edges of a cycle through c.arrow_forward1.2.11. (−) Prove or disprove: If G is an Eulerian graph with edges e, f that share vertex, then G has an Eulerian circuit in which e, f appear consecutively. aarrow_forward
- By forming the augmented matrix corresponding to this system of equations and usingGaussian elimination, find the values of t and u that imply the system:(i) is inconsistent.(ii) has infinitely many solutions.(iii) has a unique solutiona=2 b=1arrow_forward1.2.6. (-) In the graph below (the paw), find all the maximal paths, maximal cliques, and maximal independent sets. Also find all the maximum paths, maximum cliques, and maximum independent sets.arrow_forward1.2.13. Alternative proofs that every u, v-walk contains a u, v-path (Lemma 1.2.5). a) (ordinary induction) Given that every walk of length 1-1 contains a path from its first vertex to its last, prove that every walk of length / also satisfies this. b) (extremality) Given a u, v-walk W, consider a shortest u, u-walk contained in W.arrow_forward
