Answer is: a) in the presence of a base.

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions.

Acid-base indicators are usually weak acids or bases and they are chemical detectors for hydrogen or hydronium cations.

Example for acid-base indicator is phenolphthalein (molecular formula C₂₀H₁₄O₄).

When solution turns phenolphthalein pink, it means it is basic (pH>7).

NARA [144]

Answer. Chemical reaction had occurred and both the powders are different substances.

Explanation:

As density is an intensive property of the substance.Which means that different substance have different densities.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Density of powder 1, $d_1=\frac{0.5g}{45cm^3}=0.11g/cm^3$

Density of powder 2, $d_2=\frac{1.3g}{65cm^3}=0.02g/cm^3$

On comparing both the densities of the powders we can say that both the substances are different. So we can conclude that the chemical reaction had occurred.
