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.

Answer is #4 (neutrons)

Explanation:

Total mass before the reaction is 236 amu. The total mass of the two elements is 233 amu. This means that there are 3 amus carried by element X. Looking at the total atomic number of the two elements after reaction, it's 92, the same as the one at the beginning. This means that element X has zero atomic number, which could only be a neutron.

Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful
BARSIC [14]

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

Eddie

Balance the following chemical reactions:
Tcecarenko [31]

1. 2Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2PbO + 4NO₂ + O₂

2. CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

3. Cu + 2AgNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

4. MnO₂ + 4HCl → MnCl₂ + 2H₂O + Cl₂

5. Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NaCl → PbCl₂ + 2NaNO₃

1)

NaCl+AgNO_3=>NaNO_3+AgC\downarrow

2)

CuSO_4+Cu_2Cl_2\neq>

CuSO_4+Cu_2l_2\neq
