When a strong acid is titrated with a strong base using phenolphthalein, the color changes suddenly at the end point. The color

can be switched back and forth by addition of only a single drop of acid or base. The reason for the abruptness of this color change is that?

Answer:

Keto - enol tautomerism

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein is an organic molecule (formula: C20H14O4), which is used in to determine the final volume in an acid-base titration, this is, as the molecule changes from one to another color, depending on the Ph of the solution (in acids solution, the molecule remains colorless, while in basics solutions it remains pink)  :

The molecule of phenolphthalein is a week acid, which losses a proton (H+) when it´s in solution: the undissociated molecule is colorless, while the correspondent anion (without a H+) is pink. This may be simplified with the following reaction:

H₃In⁺ ⇄ H₂In (colorless) ⇄ In⁻² (pink) ⇄ In(OH) ⁻³

- When adding a base (for example, NaOH) to phenolphthalein (initially, a colorless solution), molecule losses one H⁺ and we obtain In⁻², which is pink

- When adding an acid, the original structured is recovered, so color turns from pink to colorless

This change color is not only explained with adding an acid or a base, but also with phenolphthalein structure, that leads to a keto-enol tautomerism: as molecule has 2 hydroxyl groups (- OH) and 1 carbonyl group (C = O), compounds with this structure have an equilibrium between both groups:

R1 = C H– OH ⇄  R1 – C = O

With this change, phenolphthalein structure changes and hence, color solution changes as well

4. Is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? Why or why not? With a limited number
densk [106]

no it is not possible, because they both have the same number of valence electrons in each element. in a compound you are supposed to have two or more elements that have different numbers of valence electrons so when put together they for a compound.

When PCl5 solidifies it forms PCl4+ cations and PCl6– anions. According to valence bond theory, what hybrid orbitals are used by
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

sp³

Explanation:

Number of hybrid orbitals = ( V + S - C + A ) / 2

Where

H is the number of hybrid orbitals

V is the valence electrons of the central atom = 5

S is the number of single valency atoms = 4

C is the number of cations = 1

A is the number of anions = 0

For PCl₄⁺

Applying the values, we get:

H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2

= 4

<u>This corresponds to sp³ hybridization.</u>
