How can litmus paper and phenolphthalein be used to tell whether a solution is an acid or a base? Be specific.

Both litmus paper and phenolphthalein are used as acid/base (pH) indicators.

Litmus paper:
Litmus paper will turn either blue or red when a drop of solution is added to the paper. Red indicates an acidic solution (pH is <4.5), and blue indicates a basic solution (pH >8.3).

Phenolphthalein:
Phenolphthalein is commonly used during acid/base titrations. When the solution is acidic and the indicator is added, it will remain colorless. If the solution is basic, the phenolphthalein will turn pink.

How long would it take for 1.50 mol of water at 100.0 ∘c to be converted completely into steam if heat were added at a constant
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
To determine the time it takes to completely vaporize the given amount of water, we first determine the total heat that is being absorbed from the process. To do this, we need information on the latent heat of vaporization of water. This heat is being absorbed by the process of phase change without any change in the temperature of the system. For water, it is equal to 40.8 kJ / mol.

Total heat = 40.8 kJ / mol ( 1.50 mol ) = 61.2 kJ of heat is to be absorbed

Given the constant rate of 19.0 J/s supply of energy to the system, we determine the time as follows:

Time = 61.2 kJ ( 1000 J / 1 kJ ) / 19.0 J/s = 3221.05 s

What is the atomic weight of a hypothetical element consisting of two isotopes, one with a mass of 62.2 u which is 24% abundant,
Alona [7]

Answer:

The atomic weight of hypothetical element will be 63.568 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

First isotope mass = 62.2 amu

Percentage abundance of first isotope = 24%

Mass of second isotope = 64 amu

Percentage abundance of second isotope = 100- 24 = 76%

Solution:

The atomic weight of hypothetical element will be the average atomic mass of its isotopes.

Average atomic mass = [mass of isotope× its abundance] + [mass of isotope× its abundance] +...[ ] / 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Average atomic mass = [24 ×62.2] + [76× 64] / 100

Average atomic mass = 1492.8 + 4864 / 100

Average atomic mass = 6356.8/100

Average atomic mass =  63.568 amu
