<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.

4. How many moles of KBr are found in 3 Liters of 0.4 M solution?
Allisa [31]

There are 1.2 moles of KBr found in 3 Liters of 0.4 M solution.

<h3>HOW TO CALCULATE NUMBER OF MOLES?</h3>

The number of moles of a substance can be calculated by multiplying the molarity by the volume.

No. of moles = Molarity × volume

According to this question, 3L of a KBr solution are contained in a 0.4M.

no. of moles = 3L × 0.4M = 1.2moles

Therefore, there are 1.2 moles of KBr found in 3 Liters of 0.4 M solution.

Why does it make sense that Hydrogen and Helium would be the first elements to form in the Universe?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

It makes sense because Helium and Hydrogen only hold 1 and 2 subsequent protons/neutrons and electrons. When the Big Bang happened the entire universe was so hot that it was impossible for elements to form since it was impossible for electrons to stay bound to the atoms. After a few seconds the universe began to cool enough for electrons to bond to atoms and create different elements. Since Helium and Hydrogen have 1 and 2 electrons subsequently we can assume that they were the first elements to be created. Also they are the most abundant elements in the Universe which backs up this theory.
