<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.

The mass number for an atom is numerically equal to which quantity
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons that it contains. In other words, the number of neutrons in an atom is its mass number minus its atomic number.

Explanation:

protons

The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements usually have different mass numbers , but they can be the same. For example, the mass number of argon atoms and calcium atoms can both be 40.

Why don't some people want a relationship with God?
mr_godi [17]
Some fear that they won't be able to have fun anymore if they accept God, some are afraid of what others might think of them if they accept God, some think they are too messed up to have a relationship with God, and the list goes on and on. Who knows why someone would refuse.
Hope this helps~!

What letter represents the enthalpy of reaction?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Option D. T

Explanation:

Enthalpy change (ΔH) is simply the difference between the heat content of the product (Hp) and the heat content of the reactant (Hr). Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Enthalpy change (ΔH) = Heat of product (Hp) – heat of reactant (Hr)

ΔH = Hp – Hr

From the diagram given above, the difference between the heat content of product and the heat content of reactant is T.

Therefore, the enthalpy change of the reaction is T.
