<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.

To make a 6.50M solution, how many moles of solute will be needed if 12.0 liters of solution are required
avanturin [10]

Answer:

78 moles of the solute

Explanation:

From the question;

  • Molarity of the solution is 6.50 M
  • Volume of the solution is 12.0 L

We want to determine the number of moles needed

We need to know that;

Molarity = Number of moles ÷ Volume

Therefore;

Number of moles = Molarity × Volume

Hence;

Number of moles = 6.50 M × 12.0 L

                             = 78 moles

Thus, the moles of the solute needed is 78 moles
