    help plz ..dissolved C02 on the pH of water

    Yeah, that's true. But for the purpose of Bio.. I don't think they need us to show the donating of proton to water by H2CO3. In most textbooks, I see it simply as H2CO3 forming H+ ions and bicarbonate ions.

    validity question

    Even though I didn't do this option, I can tell you about validity. Validity encompasses the idea that the dependent variable is solely influenced or determined by the independent variable in the investigation, i.e. a method is reached so that only one conclusion is always reached by...

    Trig Functions HELP WTF IS THE CIRCLE THING!!!

    When you're given a trig equation to solve e.g. 1-2cosx=0 2cosx=1 cosx=1/2 you have to look at the value of cosx.. eg. in this case, 1/2 is a positive value. Therefore, you have to look with the circle thing (All Stations To Central) , where COS is positive. Here's a simple...

    It's obviously not for the one who sucks up most... Lol, but our new school principal is like that... If we had our old principal who was the bestttttt.... it would've been fair and square. Like, for example... on our graduation ceremony.. there were a few 'special awards' aside from the...

    will the marks be better?

    And plus... even though the HSC exams are easier than trials (generally)... raw HSC exam marks are scaled up (or aligned) by the BOS anyway.

    Do we need to know specific radioisotopes

    I don't do Phy... but i'd suggest Technetium-99m. It releases low-energy gamma radiation, when it downgrades from a metastable state. It has a half-life of 6 hours, and since it emits low-energy gamma radiation... does not expose the body to harmful radiation for long periods. It's multiple...

    How to write a 20/20 creative writing?

    Lol it's impossible for me to write a 20/20 creative writing. That's the thing I'm really worried about from my English papers. The only thing that will drag me down the most, unfortunately.

    help plz ..dissolved C02 on the pH of water

    The acidic nature of CO2: CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3(aq) H2CO3 ---> 2H+ + (CO3)2- Its the H+ from the carbonic acid, which is produced by CO2 reacting with water... which lowers the pH. As H+ increases, pH decreases.
