Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A voltage of 61.5 mV is developed for every pH unit difference between the sample and the measuring electrode, which remains 6.84. Therefore, the voltage difference is 18.7 mV divided by 61.5 mV, or 0.30. The resultant pH can be calculated as 6.84 + 0.30 = 7.14.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A voltage of 61.5 mV is developed for every pH unit difference between the sample and the measuring electrode, which remains 6.84. Therefore, the voltage difference is 44.90 mV divided by 61.5 mV, or 0.73. The resultant pH can be calculated as 6.84 + 0.73 = 7.57.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
