An acidic solution would turn a blue litmus paper red due to the mobile and free hydrogen (H+) ions. These hydrogen ions affect the colour property of the litmus papers and thus the colour change. A litmus paper dropped into a solution of hydrogen ions turns red to indicate that the solution is acidic.
In any redox reaction, the substance that undergoes reduction will 3) <span> gain electrons and have a decrease in oxidation number.</span>
Answer:
a) water molecules move rapidly in the mug of boiling water while they move slowly in the ice water. In the ice itself, the molecules stay in place.
b) Water must release energy to move from a higher to lower energy phase, i.e., from gas (water) vapor to liquid during condensation and from liquid to solid (ice) during freezing. In each case, the energy released by the water results in a change in the internal molecular bonding structure.
