Carrie is conducting an experiment on a solution. The solution's initial pH is 3.2. Then, as Carrie gradually adds Compound X into the solution, the pH increases to 9.8. Which is the most likely identity of Compound X? A. a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) B. a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) C. a salt, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) D. a solvent, such as water (H2O)

B

Explanation:

The correct answer would be a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

The pH of a substance represents the degree of acidity or basicity of the compound. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 with 0 being the most acidic, 14 being the most basic, and 7 being a neutral pH. a pH below 7 is acidic and above 7 is basic.

A solution with an initial pH of 3.2 is acidic and in order to raise the pH to 9.8, it will require a strong base. Hence, compound X must be a strong base such as sodium hydroxide.

Correct option: B

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.  

idk what the options are but

these is a strong electrostatic attraction between the ions hence a lot of energy is needed to overcome this attraction

this is why the boiling points are so high
