Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

What the hell is that question anyway? At which concentration? I hope this is not a serious chemistry test.

It is not asking about a solution. It only specifies carbonic acid so you can assume pure carbonic acid.

H___2CO___3

Carbonic acid reacts with water as a base to release CO2 and H2O.

So the pH of a solution of carbonic acid with water is an equilibrium of remaining dissolved CO2 and remaining acid. Which then relies on temperature and pressure.

Formula

Given that water isn't mentioned the only correct answer is 0

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

??? pH is only defined in a solution of water.

But more importantly, the correct answer is 5

Depends on the language though, sometimes 5 == "5" and 5 !== "5" (PHP & JS)

My guess is that a .trim() is missing somewhere

Edit: removed typo in example code

5! == "5" (PHP & JS)

is not valid in either PHP or JS

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Thank you for pointing it out! That's my bad, that was a typo, I meant 5 !== "5" (it's the counterpart to the === comparator in both PHP & JS)

you were supposed to provide an integer, not a string! users these days. pfft.

Answer is actually a floating point value between 5.0 and 5.9 but the thing only displays a whole number.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

I thought it was five.

It's paradoxical. It is, but it also isn't

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Oh, well then. I will take that into account the next time and do better then.
