White wines tend to be more acidic than red wines. Find the [H3O ] in a Sauvignon Blanc with a pH of 3.23 and a Cabernet Sauvignon with a pH of 3.64. How many times more acidic is the Sauvignon Blanc

The answers are:

[H3O] Sauvignon Blanc = 0.000588

[H3O] Cabernet Sauvignon = 0.000229

Sauvignon Blanc is 2.57 times more acid  than Cabernet Sauvignon

Explanation:

The pH is a measure to calculate the degree of alkalinity or acidity of a solution. Knowing the pH we can calculate the hydrogenation concentration of the two wines. We have to clear the equation:

pH = -log [H3O]

[H3O] = 10^-pH

Replacing we have:

[H3O] Sauvignon Blanc = 10^-3.23 = 0.000588

[H3O] Cabernet Sauvignon = 10^-3.64 = 0.000229

To calculate how many times the Sauvignon Blanc is more acidic than the Cabernet Sauvignon, we just have to divide both hydrogen concentrations, as follows:

0.000588/0.000229 = 2.57 times more acid

water   molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.
