What is one way to test whether an unknown solution is acidic or basic?

Chemistry

Answer: There are several ways. The first that comes to mind is a pH meter. A pH electrode Is lowered into the solution, and (Assuming) the pH Meter has been properly calibrated, and the temperature of the solution is set to the calibration of the Meter, the pH can be read directly from an analogue scale or digital readout. Below 7 is acidic, 7 is Neutral, (like Pure Water), and over 7 is Alkaline, or Basic.

A useful, but less accurate method is the use of any number of “pH Indicator Solutions”, which are essentially a type of various colored dyes that change color within differing pH ranges. Usually, if the pH is unknown, a small amount of solution is removed from the container and tested separately - in a “well plate”, or similar method.

These types of dyes, or Indicator Solutions, can be dried upon strips of “pH indicator Paper”, which, depending upon the type can be very useful when carrying out more precisely arrived at pH tests like Titration.

Just to see if a solution is “Acid” or “Base”, Litmus paper is used; “a Red color shows Acidity, and a Blue color, a Base”; ergo, “An Acid Solution will turn Litmus Paper, Red”.

Complete the electron-dot structure of s-allylcysteine, showing all lone-pair electrons.
erastova [34]
The structural formula of <span>s-allylcysteine is shown in the picture (top figure). To create its Lewis structure, draw all its bonds between elements. Each single bond contains two electrons. There is an octet rule that must be obeyed by most elements. Each element should be surrounded with 8 electrons. The hydrogen is exempted of this rule. So, there are 4 lone pairs for the S atom, 1 lone pair for the N atom, and 2 lone pairs each for the 2 O atoms.</span>

135 grams of sodium has ______ moles.<br><br> (Enter just the number for this one.)
just olya [345]

Answer : 135 grams of sodium has 5.869 moles.

Solution : Given,

Mass of sodium = 135 grams

Molar mass of sodium = 23 g/mole

Formula used :

\text{Moles of sodium}=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium}}{\text{Molar mass of sodium}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\text{Moles of sodium}=\frac{135g}{23g/mole}=5.869moles

Therefore, the moles of sodium present in 135 grams of sodium is, 5.869 moles.
