Question 62421 • RVACR Reading Common Core Algebra I

What happens to the acidity of solutions A and B after dry ice is added?

Answer
A
The pH of solution A decreases, and the pH of solution B increases.
B
The pH of solution A increases, and the pH of solution B decreases.
C
The pH of solution A increases, and the pH of solution B increases.
D
The pH of solution A decreases, and the pH of solution B decreases.

Explanation

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. When it dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, increasing the acidity and lowering the pH. Therefore, the pH of both solution A and solution B decreases, matching “the pH of solution A decreases, and the pH of solution B decreases.”
