Use of concentrated naoh (lye or caustic soda) in soap preparations can produce a very basic product. a good soap tests between ph 7 and 9; ph 10 is rather harsh; a ph of 11 means something is wrong. how does your soap compare with these values? how could you reduce the ph of your preparation?

Dying the folding patterns of protein molecules can microbiologists better understand cellular processes as well as some diseases, such as alzheimer’s, that are caused by proteins that have misfolded. the folding of these complicated molecules can be simulated on computers, but it takes a lot of processor power and time for even expensive supercomputers to do this. a group of researchers at stanford university developed software that can be used to distribute the processing of data to anyone who is willing to donate time on their idle personal computers. as a result, the researchers have been able to achieve protein-folding simulations that are far better than those other computing methods have done. which statement best describes the work of these researchers? the work is not scientific because the data are not processed in one location. the work is not scientific because the simulations are not reproducible. the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment. the researchers used only well-established scientific techniques.

Adeuteron, 21h, is the nucleus of a hydrogen isotope and consists of one proton and one neutron. the plasma of deuterons in a nuclear fusion reactor must be heated to about 3.02×108 k . what is the rms speed of the deuterons? express your answer using two significant figures.

Ineed ! i have no clue how to do this problem.
