Give the pH of a nitric acid (HNO3) solution with a [H3O+] of 2.1 x 10-4 M? a. 3.67 b. 10.00 c. 10.33 d. 0.00021

pH is a measure of the concentration of [`~H_3O^+` ] ions.

Substances that have a high concentration of [`~H_3O^+` ] ions have a pH that is less than 7 and are classified as acids. Strong acids have lower pH numbers than weak acids.

Substances that have a low concentration of [`~H_3O^+` ] ions have a pH that is greater than 7 and are classified as bases. Strong bases have higher pH numbers than weak bases.

Substances that have equal concentrations of [`~H_3O^+` ] ions and [`~OH^-` ] have a pH of 7 and are classified as neutral.

pH is determined using the following formula:

pH = -log[`~H_3O^+` ]

Therefore, the pH of a nitric acid solution with a concentration `2.1 x ~10^-^4` ` ` M [`~H_3O^+` ] ions is:

pH = -log[`~H_3O^+` ] = -log(`2.1 x ~10^-^4` ) = 3.67

The answer is a.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV, Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV, Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.) This success inspired other activists to demand change... African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield.
