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

s turning blue and one turning red. Out of the three solutions, how many are acidic?

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.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
NO3- will affect the pH of a solution. The ion will decrease the pH of a neutral solution. No3- ion is a conjugate base of a strong acid, therefore, if it added to a neutral solution of pH 7, it will change the pH of the solution by decreasing the pH, that is, the solution will become acidic in nature.

Explain how the determination of the rate law equation significantly differs from the determination of the equilibrium constant
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The rate law equation is different from the determination of the equilibrium constant keq expression because rate law equation is used experimentally
And by looking at the equation of the reaction and chemicals used in the reaction equation Keq is determined.
<span>The value of the reaction quotient, when the chemical reaction approaches the state of equilibrium, this is called equilibrium constant.</span>

How are selective breeding, cloning, and genetic engineering similar? They are all controlled by nature. They are all controlled
sveticcg [70]

Answer:They are all controlled by the human beings.

Explanation:

The selective breeding, cloning and genetic engineering are some of the techniques which is induced by the human efforts.

In case of selective breeding the male and female species having the selective characters are mated with each other so that the offspring produced  has the desired characters. It neither requires any enzyme nor uses udder cells.

In case of genetic engineering, the gene of interest is inserted in the bacterial species by the help of vector so that when the bacterial species amplify the gene of interest. This is how the desired products are produced by bacterial species. Example: Insulin production.

Cloning can be defined as another technique made by human beings in which the genetically identical species is made naturally or artificially for the benefit of the mankind.

The chemical equation below shows the burning of magnesium (Mg) with oxygen (O2) to form magnesium oxide (MgO).
Masja [62]

Answer:

                     The correct answer is <u>Option</u><u>-</u><u>B</u> (Convert grams of Mg to moles)

Explanation:

                  In stoichiometry problems the first step is always to balance the given unbalanced chemical equation. In our case the given equation is already balanced hence, we looked for the second step.

                  As Niven wants to calculate the mass of MgO (which is the product) with respect to Mg (reactant) hence here comes another important rule. In such cases if one wants to compare masses of two reactants or reactant product. or product product then one should first convert the given mass into moles, also the same conversion for the second mass and then compare the moles and at last convert the moles back into mass. So, the flow chart should be like,

                    Mass (Mg) → Moles (Mg) : (MgO) Moles ← (MgO) Mass

After finding moles following step take place,

                                      Moles (MgO) → Mass (MgO)
