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.

One beaker contains 100 mL of pure water and second beaker contains 100 mL of seawater. The two beakers are left side by side on
gayaneshka [121]

Explanation:

When we add a non-volatile solute in a solvent then due to the impurity added to the solution there will occur an increase in the boiling point of the solution.  

This increase in boiling point will be known as elevation in boiling point.

As one beaker contains seawater (water having NaCl) will have some impurity in it. So, more temperature is required by seawater to escape into the atmosphere.

Whereas another beaker has only pure water so it is able to easily escape into the atmosphere since, it contains no impurity.

Thus, we can conclude that level of pure water will decrease more due to non-volatile solute present in it as compared to seawater.

Using your knowledge of symbols, determine which compound listed must contain both copper and oxygen.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Malachite

Explanation:

Malachite is the only listed compound that must contain copper and oxygen.

Copper and oxygen are both elements found on the periodic table. They have the following symbols;

         Copper  = Cu

         Oxygen  = O

From the given choices, only option 1 has the symbol Cu and O.

So only malachite contains both copper and oxygen.

An isotope of an element, atomic number Z, has a mass number 2z+4. How many neutrons are there in the nucleus of the element?
DiKsa [7]
A) Z + 4

In the actual atom, half of the nucleus would be protons and the other half neutrons, hence the 2z. The additional four in the expression must be neutrons because adding protons would change the element all together.

Calculate in witch material - sodium or zinc sulphide is the highest percentage by mass of sulfur ​
rjkz [21]

Answer:

sodium sulphide.

Explanation:

First, let us obtain the percentage of sulphur in both compounds. This is illustrated below:

For sodium sulphide(Na₂S):

Molar Mass of Na₂S = (23x2) + 32 = 46 + 32 = 78g/mol

Percentage of sulphur in Na₂S is given by:

32/78 x 100 = 41%

For zinc sulphide(ZnS):

Molar Mass of ZnS = 65.4 + 32 = 97.4g/mol

Percentage of sulphur in ZnS is given by:

32/97.4 x 100 = 33%

From the results obtained sulphur has the highest percentage by mass in sodium sulphide.
