Answer:
(iii) A has pH greater than 7 and B has pH less than 7
Explanation:
Phenolphthalein is a common indicator in acid base titrations. It turns pink in basic conditions and turns colorless in acidic conditions. Thus on addition of solution A it becomes pink so A should be basic having pH more than 7. On addition of B , it turn out to be colorless means that B is an acidic solution having pH less than 7.
Sunlight breaks apart an oxygen molecule to form separate oxygen atoms <span />
The fomula is NH4 (1+)
There are only two elements N and H.
As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.
N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.
You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.
In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.
Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.
That implies that 4* (1+) + x = 1+
=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-
Answer: the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.
