30
Q

How many times more acidic is a substance with a PH of 3.0 compared to one with a PH of 6.0

A

Since a substance with a Ph of 6 is neutral, a substance with a PH of 3 would be much more acidic

31
Q

a welders torch combines acetylene and oxygen gases to form carbon dioxide and water.

what is the proper word equation?

convert the word equation into a skeletal formula.

balance the chemical equation.

classify the type of reaction

A

word equation:
Acetylene + Oxygen –> Carbon dioxide + water

Skeletal Formula:
C2H2 + O2 –> CO2 + H20

Balanced equation:
2C2H2 + 5O2 –> 4CO2 + 2H2O

Type of Reaction = Combustion reaction
