The additional test is that it should turn methyl orange to red because it is an acid.  

The mentioned substance given in the test is an acid, as the bases turn red litmus paper blue, while an acid turns blue litmus paper red. The acid-base indicators are generally weak bases or acids and they function as a chemical detector for hydronium and hydrogen cations.  

Phenolphthalein is an example of an acid-base indicator, it becomes pink in basic solutions and colorless in acidic solutions. Methyl orange is another example, which becomes yellow in basic solutions and red in acidic solutions.

Identify the following redox reactions by type. Check all that apply. (a) Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2 combination decomposition disp
EastWind [94]

Answer :

(a) displacement reaction

(b) combination reaction

(c) disproportionation reaction

(d) displacement reaction

Explanation :

(a) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe+H_2SO_4\rightarrow FeSO_4+H_2

This reaction is a single replacement reaction or displacement in which the the more reactive element (Fe) replace the less reactive element (H).

(b) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

S+3F_2\rightarrow SF_6

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactants molecule combine to form a large molecule or single product.

(c) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+CuCl_2

This reaction is a disproportionation reaction in which the chemical species gets oxidized and reduced simultaneously.  It is also considered as a redox reaction.

(d) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2Ag+PtCl_2\rightarrow 2AgCl+Pt

This reaction is a single replacement reaction or displacement in which the the more reactive element (Ag) replace the less reactive element (Pt).

The rate constant k for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures:
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Ea=5.5 Kcal/mole

Explanation:

Let rate constant are K_1  and K_2  at temperature T_1  and T_2

By using Arrhenius equation at two different two different temperature,

Log K_1/K_2 =E_a/2.303R*(1/T_2 -1/T_2 );T_1=273+376=649K  ;K_1=4.8*10^8;T_2=273+280=553K  ;K_2=2.3*10^8;R=2 cal/(mole.K);Log (4.8*10^8)/(2.3*10^8 )=E_a/2.303R*(1/553K-1/649); Log 4.8/2.3=E_a/2.303R*96/358897 ;0.32=E_a/2.303R*96/358897;E_a=(0.32*2.303R*358897)/96;  

By putting value of R=2 cal/mole.K

E_a=5510.265cal/mole;

By rounding off upto 2 significant figure;

E_a=5.5Kcal/mole;

What will result from the Alpha decay of (17 8)O?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

alpha decay, because alpha particles have two protons and two neutrons.  If the isotope has an atomic number two less than the original, it lost two protons, the same amount as in an alpha particle.

Please help me with this, thank you so much
Basile [38]
I can’t answer the exact thing, but I know how to do it. One of the nitrogen bases always pairs with a different one, so once you know what pairs with what you just write it down. If you need more help just ask :) tip: one base will only join with a different one. One won’t join to multiple (from what I know as of now)

How does oxygen concentration affect the fish that live in a pond
Maurinko [17]

Explanation: Oxygen plays a very vital role in the life of aquatic animals. The dissolved oxygen in the water helps them to breathe under water.

Optimum level of oxygen for deep living animals like oysters, bottom feeders, crabs is around (1-6 mg/L), while the animals living on the upper side like fishes require a higher amount of around (4-6 mg/L).

If the oxygen concentration in the pond is not optimum, there will no aquatic life and hence, the ecosystem will be affected.

Hence, oxygen concentration affects the fishes that live in the pond to a higher extent.
