Question

In a solution with a pH of 3.0, the color of

Answer 1

Answer:

A) litmus is red

Explanation:

To answer this question, it can be helpful to have the color charts. Litmus, phenolphthalein and methyl orange are ways to test the pH of a substance.

Litmus paper

Litmus can tell you if a substance is an acid or a base. You need to put the substance on both red litmus and blue litmus paper.

pH < 7: both papers are red. 3.0 is less than 7.

pH = 7: none of them change color

pH > 7: both papers are blue

Phenolphthalein

When this indicator is added to a substance, the result is either colorless or pink.

0 < pH ≤ 7: colorless. The color is not red or blue for pH 3.0.

pH > 7: pink

Methyl orange

0 < pH < 4: red. The color is not yellow if the pH is 3.0.

4 ≤ pH < 5: orange

pH ≥ 5: yellow
