What is the hydrogen ion concentration in the solution?
A
0.25 mol / dm3
B
0.50 mol / dm3
C
1.00 mol / dm3
D
2.00 mol / dm3

Concentration of Acid = Concentration of H+,
Therefore,
Concentration = 0.025/(25/1000) = 1 mol./dm^3.
Answer C.

The answer is D.. according to the marking scheme

Yes, it is indeed D. You see that one mole of Sulphuric acid gives two hydrogen ions, i.e H2SO4 gives 2H+. This concept will be applied. That is why, the concentration of sulphuric acid x 2= Concentration of H+ ions.

well air contains about 20 % oxygen so 20/100*8o=16
16 cm3 would react 80 - 16 64 cm3
C is the answer i think

Consider the formula P=I^2R, If resistance is kept constant and the power is decreased, the current would increase.
Similarly, as asked in the question, if the power is decreased, the current would increase hence there is a risk of over heating.
For part (ii), if the power is increases, the current would decrease, this means that very little current would pass through because of the high resistance.
P=I^2R , if power decreases shouldnt current also decrease? P should be directly proportion to square of I if R is constant
