Answer: one solution is acidic

Explanation:

Acid base indicators are usually weak acids or weak bases. They change their color in the solution with change in the pH.

For any indicator say HIn , the dissociation can be shown as:

HIn\rightleftharpoons H^++In^-

Litmus is one such indicator which turns red in acidic solutions, blue in alkaline solutions, and purple in neutral solutions.

Thus out of three solutions , the litmus paper strip is turning red in one solution, thus only one solution is acidic. the other two in which litmus is showing blue color are alkaline in nature.

After dipping the litmus paper strips in the solutions, the answer to the question is that one is acidic because according to brad's observation on turned red and the others are basic or alkaline with the two papers turning blue.

If motion starts and stops at the same place is this distance zero ?
Shtirlitz [24]
Displacement is zero. Displacement is in reference to the starting and ending positions, so starting and ending in the same place would cause a net displacement of zero. Distance, however, is not zero. It is a measurement of the total amount moved, so if the object left the starting position, the distance is automatically not zero.

A hiker seals a plastic bag that contains dried fruit before the climbs a mountain. What will most likely happen to the plastic
romanna [79]

From the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant, P is pressure, V is volume,  and T is temperature of the gas.

The pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at constant temperature and number of moles.

Hence, on decreasing the pressure, the volume will increase.

As the hiker reaches a height of a mountain, the pressure would decrease which results in the reestablishment of equilibrium between gas molecules thus resulting in pushing of bag outwards.

Hence, the bag will expand as the hiker reaches the top of the mountain.
