Thomas and Lilian are walking down the street to get to the corner store. They walk 5 blocks up the street and turn right by the stop sign. Once they turn at the stop sign they continue walking for 8 more blocks. They make a left, walk 2 blocks and cross the street to arrive at the corner store. While there they purchase a few snacks, sit at the curb, and then walk back home where they originally started. Thomas and Lilian are discussing their walk in reference to their overall displacement and distance. They seem to be in disagreement about their journey. Thomas says their overall displacement and distance are both zero, because they are back where they started. Lilian thinks their total distance and displacement are greater than zero. Which person do you most agree with?
You are not expected to actually calculate in order to solve this problem.

Calculate the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6. find the concentration of h+ ions to oh– ions listed in table b of your student guide. then divide the h+ concentration by the oh– concentration. record this calculated ratio in table a of your student guide. compare your approximated and calculated ratios of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6. are they the same? why or why not? record your explanation in table a. what is the concentration of h+ ions at a ph = 6? mol/l what is the concentration of oh– ions at a ph = 6? mol/l what is the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6? : 1
