<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Litmus paper is defined as the paper which is used as an indicator. It helps us to find out whether the solution is acidic or basic in nature. There are 2 types of litmus paper:

  1. <u>Red litmus paper:</u> This paper turns blue, when it is dipped in basic solution and remains as such when it is dipped in acidic solution.
  2. <u>Blue litmus paper:</u> This paper turns red, when it is dipped in acidic solution and remains as such when it is dipped in basic solution.

As, the compound is turning litmus solution blue, thus, it will be a base and base is also found in soaps and detergents.

Hence, the correct answer is Option b.

Which of the following species has the greatest
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in Cl^{-} is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.

Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in Co^{4+} is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.

Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in Fe^{2+} is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.

Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.

Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in Sc^{2-} is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, Fe^{2+} has the greatest  number of electrons.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:Free radical mono-halogenation of an alkane is typically conducted using bromine versus chlorine because the bromine radical is less reactive and therefore more selective.

Explanation: Halogenation occurs when a halogen replaces  one or more hydrogen atoms in an organic compound ie  chlorine or  bromine with the reactivity of the halogens decreasing  in the order of  F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2

Since fluorine reacts  explosively making it is difficult to control, and iodine is unreactive. Free radical mono-halogenation of an alkane is typically conducted using bromine versus chlorine  with Chlorination  ie chlorine radical being more reactive and not selective and the Bromination of alkanes ie bromine radical  occurring similarly but slower and less reactive but  more selective which is due to the fact that a bromine atom is less reactive in  the hydrogen abstraction  than a chlorine atom evidence in the  higher bond energy of H-Cl than H-Br.
