The 1970’s was the decade that illuminated the threat of acid rain to the citizens of the US. It had been known to exist several years before, but the sources of the problem did their best to suppress ...

All acidic aqueous solutions contain protonated water, known commonly as the hydronium ion (H 3 O +). Brønsted acids release one or more of their protons (hydrogen ions), which combine with water ...

The rate of acid production in infants and young children was quoted to be 1-2 mEq/kg/day but in fact, the sole reference used in all these instances did not permit such quantitation. In order to ...

a dilute solution contains a relatively small amount of dissolved solute in a given volume a concentrated solution contains a relatively large amount of dissolved solute in a given volume Take care to ...

The pH is a negative logarithmic scale, which measures the molar concentration of hydrogen ions from 1 to 10 14 ions. It therefore has no unit of measurement. Numbers on a negative logarithmic scale ...

Take care to use the word 'dilute' correctly. It can be used as an adjective to describe the concentration of a solution (as here), or as a verb to describe the process of adding more water to a ...
