What is most likely the pH of a solution containing many hydroxide ions (OH-) and few hydrogen ions(H+)

A. 2

B. 6

C. 7

D. 9

Answer Explanation:

A solution that contains more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions is a base, and bases have a pH greater than 7, so the only possible answer is choice D. 9.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #1: Which of these body parts does NOT produce melanin?

    A. Hair

    B. Nails

    C. Skin

    D. Iris

    Answer Explanation

    While melanin can be found in nails, it is not produced there. Melanin is the pigment that provides color to skin, hair, and eyes. Although the specific coloring of one's skin, hair, and eyes are genetically determined. environmental factors such as sun exposure can increase melanin production in the skin to help protect it from damage.

  • Q #2: A chemistry experiment is performed to determine the effect of a nonvolatile solute on the boiling point of water. Three trials are performed in which 10 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg of salt are added to 500 mL of distilled water. Each solution is heated on a hot plate, and the elevated boiling points are recorded. Determine the dependent and independent variables in this question.

    A. The independent variable is the amount of salt, and the dependent variable is the temperature at which the water boils.

    B. The independent variable is the amount of water, and the dependent variable is the temperature at which the water boils.

    C. The independent variable is the temperature at which the water boils, and the dependent variable is the amount of salt.

    D. The Independent variable is the amount of salt, and the dependent variable is the amount of water.

    Answer Explanation

    In a scientific experiment, the dependent variable is the condition that is being tested and measured. The independent variable is the condition that is being changed or controlled. In this example, the amount of salt is varied, and the boiling point of water is measured. Therefore, the independent variable is the amount of salt, and the dependent variable is the temperature at which the water bolls.

  • Q #3: Which of the following statements best defines an organelle?

    A. Layer of polysaccharides outside the plasma membrane of cells

    B. Abnormal Infectious proteins

    C. Specialized structures within a cell

    D. Collection of tissues used to serve a specific function

    Answer Explanation

    Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that serve a specific function. For example, mitochondria supply energy to the cell by generating adenosine triphosphate. Ribosomes are the site for protein synthesis. The nucleus is in charge of all of the activities of the cell.
