Textbook Question

Chapter 8.D, Problem 31E

The pH Scale. Use the pH scale to answer the questions. 25. If the pH of a solution increases by 4 (e.g., from 4 to 8), how much does the hydrogen ion concentration change? Does the change make the solution more acidic or more basic? 26. If the pH of a solution decreases by 3.5 (e.g. from 6.5 to 3), how much does the hydrogen ion concentration change? Does the change make the solution more acidic or more basic?

What is the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution with pH 8.5?
What is the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution with pH 3.5?
What is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 0.001 moles per liter? Is this solution an acid or a base?
What is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 10-12 mole per liter? Is this solution an acid or base?
How many times more acidic is acid rain with a pH of 2 than ordinary rain with a pH of 6?
How many times more acidic is acid rain with a pH of 2.5 than ordinary rain with a pH of 6?

Part a: The number of transistors per IC in 1972 seems to be about 4,000 (a rough estimate by eye). Using this estimate and Moore's Law, what would you predict the number of transistors per IC to be 20 years later, in 1992? Part b: From the chart, estimate (roughly) the number of transistors per IC in 2018. Using your estimate and Moore's Law, what would you predict the number of transistors per IC to be in 2040? Part c: Do you think that your prediction in Part b is believable? Why or why not?
