Brad is testing three solutions with litmus paper. After dipping the litmus paper strips in the solutions, he observes two paper
2 answers:
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:
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.

From the ideal gas equation,
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.
