curvature of the water level.

Assume you drink 250mL of soda out of a 1 liter soda bottle. How many liters are left

Indicate the correct order of steps as you bring an object into focus under high power

1. Place slide on stage and secure with stage clips. 2. Turn on the light and center the specimen over the light source. 3. Focus specimen on scanning objective using coarse focus adjustment 4. Rotate to low power objective, then use fine focus to sharpen the image 5. Rotate high power lens into position. 6. Readjust fine focus under high power to produce the sharpest image

Algal phytoplankton are single-celled aquatic organisms that perform photosynthesis like plants. In a lake, summer growth of phytoplankton can change the water pH from pH 7.2 to 6.2. Select all of the following that are TRUE about this change.Check All That Apply

1. The water at pH 6.2 is a stronger acid solution than before the phytoplankton growth. 2. The growth of phytoplankton changed the pH of the water. 4. The water at pH 6.2 has 10 times the hydrogen (H+) concentration as before the phytoplankton growth.

Arrange the following steps of applying immersion oil in the correct sequence

1.Focus on the specimen using the 40x objective lens. 2.Turn the objectives to half way between the 40x lens and the 100x lens. 3.Apply a drop of immersion oil directly onto area of the slide you were viewing. 4.Rotate the 100x lens over the microscope slide, and use the fine focus adjustment knob to sharpen the image.

If you continued to add a large quantity of strong acid to a buffer solution, what would happen?

Eventually the conjugate base would be depleted, and the pH would drop.

All buffers maintain pH at around 7.0

False

If the hypothesis in a scientific experiment is not supported, the experiment is considered a complete failure and must be repeated until a satisfactory outcome is reached.

False

Proper hand washing will sterilize the hands.

False

You may eat a snack in lab as long as there are no bacterial cultures on your bench and you have thoroughly washed your hands.

False

Blood is closely maintained at a pH of 7.4. A patient whose blood pH drops below 7.35 is suffering from metabolic acidosis and can go into a coma. What happens to the concentration of H+ ions in a patient with a blood pH of 6.4?

H+ concentration is increased ten fold.

The interactive shows the pH scale from acidic to basic, and the corresponding hydrogen ion concentrations at each level. Compare that to this graph representing the same data. Which phrases accurately describe this graph?

Hydrogen ion concentrations increase as pH values decrease. The x-axis is on a logarithmic scale.

Some students consume large amounts of caffeinated drinks to help them stay alert when studying. You notice that many who engage in this practice seem to do poorly on exams. Suppose you want to investigate the relationship between caffeine consumption and exam performance. Which of the following statements would be an appropriate hypothesis

Students who consume large amounts of caffeine while studying have lower exam scores than students that consume less caffeine while studying.

What can explain the relative lack of effect of acid precipitation on the Clark Fork River

The carbonate ions from the limestone react with water to form a buffer.

The bicarbonate buffer system is important for our bloodstream. If something interferes with breathing and CO2 levels rise, then blood pH will fall. In this case, how would you expect the bicarbonate buffer to respond?

The extra H+ ions will be bound by the conjugate base HCO3− , pushing the equilibrium to the left.

How is the metric system different than the standard United States system

The metric system is based on units of 10

Algal phytoplankton are single-celled aquatic organisms that perform photosynthesis like plants. In a lake, summer growth of phytoplankton can change the water pH from pH 7.2 to 6.2. Select all of the following that are TRUE about this change.

The water at pH 6.2 is a stronger acid solution than before the phytoplankton growth. The water at pH 6.2 has 10 times the hydrogen (H+) concentration as before the phytoplankton growth. The growth of phytoplankton changed the pH of the water.

The x-axis is on a logarithmic scale. Hydrogen ion concentrations increase as pH values decrease.

In the pH portion of the interactive, drag the slider bar until you see Sea Water in the upper right panel. One hundred years ago, ocean water had a pH of approximately 8.2, but now it is closer to 8.1 due to the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

To describe this situation, we can say that seawater is changing to become more [Acidic] than it was, due to an [Increase] in H+ ions, but its current pH can be described as slightly [Alkaline]

When preparing a wet mount specimen for viewing, the specimen should be covered with

a coverslip

true

The buffer can maintain the solution at a steady pH, because when base is added, the (Click to select) conjugate base weak acid CH3CO2H (Click to select) absorbs releases H+ ions, and when acid is added, the (Click to select) conjugate base weak acid CH3CO2− (Click to select) absorbs releases H+ ions

weak acid releases conjugate base absorb
