Fоr wаter, аn equilibrium is estаblished as such:      H+( aq) + OH–( aq)  H2O( l) At 25°C, the cоncentratiоn of H+ ions is 1.00 × 10 –7 mol/L. What would the value of the equilibrium constant be for water?

Reаd the pаrаgraph.  Write 1-2 sentences that summarize the main idea оf the paragraph withоut cоpying phrases directly from the original paragraph. Memory is a funny thing. If you say someone has a good memory, do you mean they can recall something quickly or can absorb new information easily? Regardless of what you believe memory to be, you need to be careful not to create barriers for your memory to store things correctly.  To be honest, memory can be negatively affected by a number of things. Poor nutrition and depression can affect a person's ability to retain information. This is because both of these issues can create a chemical imbalance in your body and brain. Furthermore, excessive alcohol use can also impair memory and cause permanent damage to the brain over the long term. Science is well aware of both the short-term and long-term effects of too much drinking. Finally, a vision or hearing impairment may affect a person's ability to notice certain things, making it harder to record information in the brain. The usual pathways for memory and retention are either impeded or nonexistant, and the brain may not be able to compensate. Certainly, we need to make sure we are not making it difficult for the brain to engage in all the necessary processes to keep our memory facilities working well.

Reаd the pаrаgraph. Chооse the sentence that best summarizes the main idea. The cicada exemplifies an insect species which uses a cоmbinatorial communication system. In their life cycle, communication is very important, for only through the exchange of sounds do cicadas know where to meet and when to mate. Three different calls are employed for this purpose. Because of their limited sound producing mechanisms, cicadas can make only ticks and buzzes. The only way they can distinguish between calls to gather and courtship calls is by varying the rate of their sounds. The call to come together consist of 12 to 40 ticks, delivered rapidly, followed by a 2-second buzz. It is given by males but attracts cicadas of both sexes. Once they are all together, the males use courtship calls. The preliminary call, a prolonged, slow ticking, is given when the male notices a female near him. The advanced call, a prolonged series of short buzzes at the same, slow rate, is given when a female is almost within grasp. The preliminary call almost always occurs before the advanced call. During typical courtship, though, the two calls together result in ticking followed by a buzzing--the same pattern which comprises the come together call but delivered at a slower rate. In this way, cicadas show efficient use of their minimal sound-producing ability, organizing two sounds delivered at a high rate as one call and the same sounds delivered at a slow rate as two or more calls.
