What property of a solution causes an acid–base indicator to change to different colors?

2 answers:

7 0

The most common method to get an idea about the pH of solution is to use an acid base indicator. An indicator is a large organic molecule that works somewhat like a " color dye". Whereas most dyes do not change color with the amount of acid or base present, there are many molecules, known as acid - base indicators , which do respond to a change in the hydrogen ion concentration. Most of the indicators are themselves weak acids.

Answer:

Different concentrations of hydronium ion or the nature of the solution (acidic or basic) causes an acid-base indicator to change to different colors.

Explanation:

An acid base indicator is a weak organic acid or base. It shows different colors in acidic and basic medium. So, if a solution is acidic the indicator exhibits one color and if it is basic it shows a different color. So depending on the solution pH or the concentration of hydronium ion they change their color.

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle

Sedaia [141]

Question in incomplete, complete question is:

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle (electron) with a kinetic energy (Ek) of $4.71\times 10^{-15}J$ . What is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron (Ek = ½mv²)?

Answer:

$6.762\times 10^{-12} m$ is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a particle, we use the equation given by De-Broglie's wavelength, which is:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE_k}}$

where,

= De-Broglie's wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = $6.624\times 10^{-34}Js$

m = mass of beta particle = $9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg$

$E_k$ = kinetic energy of the particle = $4.71\times 10^{-15}J$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\lambda =\frac{6.624\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}$

$\lambda = 6.762\times 10^{-12} m$

$6.762\times 10^{-12} m$ is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

Drag each item to indicate whether it is related to Aristotle's or Ptolemy's model of the solar system, or to both. Some items m

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Aristotle's Model :

geocentric

planets fixed on nested spheres

Ptolemy's model:

geocentric

planets fixed on epicycles

accurately predicted the positions of the planets

Explanation:

Let's begin by the fact both models are geocentric and make a brief explanation of them:

Aristotle's Model :

Aristotle built his model based on observations and philosophical assumptions, not on measurements or calculations, then he mistakenly thought the Earth was the center of the universe.

So, according to this model, the universe was spherical and finite, with the Earth immobile at its center, composed of the four fundamental elements (made up of spherical layers): ground, water, air and fire; and the Sun along with the fixed planets in their respective concentric spheres (also called nested spheres) revolving around the Earth.

Ptolemy's model:

Ptolemy's model of the universe was also geocentric, placing the Earth motionless in the center of the known universe and was the accepted model for a long time during the Middle Ages.

In this sense, ccording to Ptolemy's model of the universe our planet remains stationary while the other planets, the Moon and the Sun describe complicated orbits around it (called epicycles).

However, this model predicted with an acceptable accuracy for that time the motion of the known planets, until Copernicus appeared with the revolutionary Heliocentric model.

Which of the following best describes how soil is formed?

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Soil minerals form the basis of soil.

Explanation:

They are produced from rocks (parent material) through the processes of weathering and natural erosion. Water, wind, temperature change, gravity, chemical interaction, living organisms and pressure differences all help break down parent material.
