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.

Which statements correctly describe the decay rates of radioactive isotopes?

storchak [24]

Answer: b} The exact time when an individual atom will decay can be accurately predicted.

c} After each half-life, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half.

Explanation:

All radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process

a = initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

Expression for calculating half life, which is the time taken by the half of the reactants to decompose is:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

Some of the NH₄+ will combine with the OH- and shift the equilibrium backwards and from NH₄OH to balance the change produced by addition of NH₄+ ions.
