Answer:
B
Explanation:
Please take a look at the picture attached for the drawings and structures.
C2H4 is a alkene (C-C double bond). When steam (water) is added, it turns into an alcohol, where the double bond breaks and a (-OH) functional group is attached to one of the Carbons. In this case, C2H4 ethene is turned into ethanol.
When an alcohol undergoes oxidation, primary alcohols turn into aldehyde (-CHO) or carboxylic acids (-COOH). Secondary alcohol turns into ketone. Ethanol is a primary alcohol. And since it later reacts with propanol, it can only form carboxylic acid when it oxidizes. The product in this reaction is ethanoic acid.
Carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol to form an ester (-COO-). the -COOH group from acid combines with the -OH group from alcohol to form an ester bond -COO- while eliminating H2O. Therefore, when propanol undergoes esterification with ethanoic acid, propyl ethanoate is produced. It is the answer of B.

Indicators show changes in the pH of a solution
Explanation:
A pH meter is an instrument that measures the hydrogen-ion activity in aqueous solutions, indicating the acidity or alkalinity of the solution expressed as pH .The pH meter measures the difference in electrical potential between a pH electrode and a reference electrode, hence the pH meter is sometimes referred to as a potentiometric pH meter. Potentiometric pH meters measure the voltage between two electrodes and display the result converted into the corresponding pH value. The instrument comprises of a simple electronic amplifier and a pair of electrodes, or alternatively a combination electrode, and some form of display calibrated in pH units. It usually has a glass electrode and a reference electrode, or a combination electrode. The electrodes, or probes, are inserted into the solution to be tested.
Organic indicators are chemical species that change their colour in response to changes in the pH of the solution. This implies that the anionic and protonated forms of the indicator possess different colours. Hence the colour changes in acidic, basic and neutral solutions. The images attached indicate the colour changes in phenolphthalein and methyl orange in acidic and basic media accordingly.
