An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions in water and has a pH less than 7. Strong acids, like hydrochloric acid, are completely ionized in water, while weak acids like acetic acid only partially ionize. Acids react with metals to produce salts and hydrogen gas, with carbonates to produce salts, water and carbon dioxide gas, and with bases to produce salts and water. They have sour tastes and are corrosive.

Here are the key points about measuring pH:
- pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution on a scale from 0-14.
- A pH below 7 is acidic, above 7 is basic, and 7 is neutral.
- The pH scale is logarithmic, so each unit change in pH represents a 10-fold change in [H+].
- Common indicators like litmus paper, phenolphthalein, and universal indicator can be used to estimate pH based on their color changes.
- pH meters provide a precise numerical measurement of pH by measuring voltage.
So in summary, pH is a quantitative measure of acidity or basicity that can be estimated qualitatively with indicators

This document provides an introduction to acids, bases, and salts for GCSE chemistry students. It discusses key topics like acidity and alkalinity, indicators, the pH scale, types of acids including strong and weak acids, and various methods for making salts through reactions between acids and metals, metal oxides, metal carbonates, metal hydroxides, and ammonia. The document is intended to help students understand and revise these core chemistry concepts in preparation for their exams.
Strong acids and strong bases always react in the same format since the dissociate nearly 100% in water.
Solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are mixed the reaction occurs as follows:
Weak acids dissociate only slightly in water, and therefore should be left combined and not written as its ions. When weak acids react with strong bases, the H+ from the weak acid is transferred to the OH- from the strong base to form water and a salt. The salt formed, however, will most likely be soluble, and should be written as its respective ions. Remember also, to cancel out any spectator ions.
The pink colour in test tubes #2 and #4 was caused by the basic solution (NaOH) reacting with the phenolphthalein indicator, which turns pink in basic solutions with a pH between 8.2-12.
The colour disappeared in test tube #5 because the acidic solution (HCl) was added, and phenolphthalein is colourless in acidic solutions below pH 8.2.
We could use an acidic solution like HCl to take away the pink colour in test tube #6, as it would neutralize the basic solution and lower the pH below 8.2, making the phenolphthalein colourless again.
This document discusses the properties and reactions of acids and bases. It states that acids have a sour taste and cause color changes in indicators like litmus.

This document provides an overview of acids and bases according to different theories:
1. Arrhenius theory defines acids as producing hydrogen ions in water and bases as producing hydroxide ions.
2. Brønsted-Lowry theory defines acids as hydrogen ion donors and bases as hydrogen ion acceptors.

The document discusses several theories of acids and bases:
1. According to Arrhenius, acids are compounds that produce H+ ions in water and bases produce OH- ions. Strong acids fully dissociate while weak acids only partially dissociate.
2. Bronsted and Lowry defined acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors. An acid and base always work together in a proton transfer reaction. Some substances can act as both an acid and a base depending on the reaction.
3. Lewis defined acids as electron pair acceptors and bases as electron pair donors.
This document discusses acids, bases, salts, and indicators. It defines acids as sour substances that produce hydrogen ions in solution and have a pH below 7. Bases are defined as having a pH above 7 and forming hydroxide ions in solution. Examples of common acids and bases are provided. Indicators are substances that change color in acidic versus basic solutions, allowing the pH to be determined. Strong acids and bases fully ionize in solution, while weak ones only partially ionize. Neutralization occurs when an acid and base react to form a salt and water. Salts are neutral compounds composed of acid anions and base cations.
This document provides information on acids, bases, and salts. It defines acids as substances that produce hydrogen ions in water. Examples of strong acids that fully ionize include sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, while weak acids only partially ionize, such as ethanoic acid. Bases are metal oxides or hydroxides, and those that dissolve in water producing hydroxide ions are called alkalis like sodium hydroxide. The pH scale measures the hydrogen ion concentration in solutions from 0-14, with lower values being more acidic and higher more alkaline. Common indicators change color at specific pH values to show acidity or alkalinity.
Strong acids and bases ionize completely in water, producing high concentrations of hydrogen or hydroxide ions. Weak acids and bases only partially ionize in water, resulting in lower concentrations of ions. Specifically, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide fully dissociate whereas ethanoic acid and ammonia only partially dissociate, making the latter acids and bases weaker. Strong acids and bases have higher pH values and degrees of ionization compared to their weaker counterparts.
Acids provide H+ ions in water, while bases provide OH- ions. Examples of acids include HCl and H2SO4, while examples of bases include NaOH and KOH. When acids and bases react, they undergo a neutralization reaction producing water and a salt. For example, HCl + NaOH produces H2O + NaCl. Strong acids and bases fully dissociate in water, while weak ones only partially dissociate.

This document discusses the failures in addressing past epidemics like SARS and MERS that contributed to the spread of COVID-19. It argues that governments and industries prioritized other areas like cancer research and extending lifespan over researching epidemic diseases. This left few experienced researchers behind to confront new diseases rapidly. It also criticizes overpopulation, urbanization, and a reliance on experienced employees rather than training new graduates. The document warns that if we do not learn from past mistakes and find cures for animal-borne diseases, future pandemics may be even more severe.

This document discusses vitamin D, including what it is, how the body processes and activates it, its functions, sources, and requirements. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight and found in some foods. It is activated through two hydroxylation steps in the liver and kidneys. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and bone mineralization and supports immune function. While sunlight is the major source, many factors impact skin synthesis, so dietary sources and supplements are also important to meet daily requirements.
Naming compounds and Balancing chemical equations using oxidation numbersRania S Seoudi
1) The document discusses naming compounds and balancing chemical equations using oxidation numbers. It provides examples of naming metal and non-metal compounds as well as oxide compounds.
2) Methods for determining oxidation numbers from compound names and formulas are explained. Examples are given for nitrate compounds and working out formulas from compound names.
3) The document demonstrates balancing chemical equations using oxidation numbers, giving examples of copper (II) oxide reacting with ammonia and manganate (VII) ions reacting with iron (II) ions.
1) Calorimetry can be used to measure the enthalpy change of reactions by using either a constant pressure calorimeter or a bomb calorimeter.
2) The enthalpy change is calculated using the formula: ΔH=-mcΔT, where m is the mass of the calorimeter contents, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change.
3) For example, a student measured a 6.5°C temperature increase when mixing 50mL of 1M HCl and 50mL of 1M NaOH. Using the calorimetry equation, the enthalpy change for the neutralization reaction of 1 mole of HCl with NaOH
This document summarizes different types of enthalpy changes in chemical reactions.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...Sérgio Sacani
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

with. Instead we work with pH:

9. Strength of acids and bases
- Strong acids are strong electrolytes that, for practical purposes, are assumed to ionize completely in
water.
- Most of strong acids are inorganic acids such as: hydrochloric acid (HCl), nitric acid (HNO3),
perchloric acid (HClO4), and sulfuric acid (H2SO4):
- Most acids are weak acids (ionize to limit extent).
- Weak acids contain nonionized acid moleucles such as: hydrofluoric acid (HF),
acetic acid (CH3COOH), and the ammonium ion (NH+
4).

10. - Conjugate acid-base pairs have the following properties:
1. If an acid is strong, its conjugate base has no measurable strength. Thus, the Cl2 ion, which
is the conjugate base of the strong acid HCl, is an extremely weak base.
2. H3O+ is the strongest acid that can exist in aqueous solution. Acids stronger than H3O+
react with water to produce H3O+ and their conjugate bases.
For weak acids than H3O+
1. The OH- ion is the strongest base that can exist in aqueous solution. Bases stronger than
OH- react with water to produce OH- and their conjugate acids.

11. Weak acids and acid ionization constants
- The vast majority of acids are weak acids.
- Consider the weak monprotic acid HA
- The equilibrium expression for this ionization is

- Example: calculate pH od 0.50M HF solution at 25oC (Ka=7.1x10-4):
So,

13. In summary, the main steps for solving weak acid ionization problems are:
1. Identify the major species that can affect the pH of the solution. In most cases we can
ignore the ionization of water. We omit the hydroxide ion because its concentration is
determined by that of the H+ ion.
2. Express the equilibrium concentrations of these species in terms of the initial concentration
of the acid and a single unknown x, which represents the change in concentration.
3. Write the weak acid ionization and express the ionization constant Ka in terms of the
equilibrium concentrations of H+, the conjugate base, and the unionized acid and solve x.
4. Having solved for x, calculate the equilibrium concentrations of all species and/or the pH of
the solution.
