    Calculating pH of Limestone Quarry Water | H2CO3 pk1=6.37, pk2=10.32

    since its a salt, I think you can do pH= 1/2 (pKa1 + pKa2)

    Thermodynamics Heat Calculation Problem

    Calculate the heat that must be supplied to a 500g copper kettle containig 750 g of water to raise its temperature from 23 degrees to the boiling point of water, 100 degrees. q=MCT qwater= 750 x 4.184 x 77= 241626 J qcopper= 550 x .38 x 77= 16093 J 241626 + 16093 =...

    Apparent Frequency (Doppler) Problem

    The question only asks for one speed, and I added the 97 and subtracted 97 and it was still wrong. And its when you are moving away from the parked car, so wouldn't it be subtracted, anyway? And you're solving for the velocity when you're moving away. So all in all, I have no idea what you...

    Apparent Frequency (Doppler) Problem

    The security alarm on a parked car goes off and produces a frequency of 952 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. As you drive toward this parked car, pass it, and drive away, you observe the frequency to change by 97 Hz. At what speed are you driving? F=Fo [(Vsound-...

    Calculating Gauge Pressure in a Two-Story House

    The main water line enters a house on the first floor. The line has a gauge pressure of 2.00 x10^5 Pa. (a) A faucet on the second floor, 7.0 m above the first floor, is turned off. What is the gauge pressure at this faucet? P2= P1 + (density x g x h) (2 x 10^5)= P1 + (1000 x...

    How Does Batman's Jump Impact the Speed of a Getaway Boat?

    Batman (mass = 105 kg) jumps straight down from a bridge into a boat (mass = 530 kg) in which a criminal is fleeing. The velocity of the boat is initially +15 m/s. What is the velocity of the boat after Batman lands in it? .5mv squared + mghf = .5mVi squared + Mghi.5 x 635 x Vf squared = .5 x...

    How Fast Must a Person Run to Catch a Ball Dropped from a Building?

    A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 24.2-m-tall building. The ball's initial speed is 12 m/s. At the same instant, a person is running on the ground at a distance of 29.2 m from the building. What must be the average speed of the person if he is to catch the ball at the bottom of the...
