Answer:

2) The phenolphthalein is turning pink because a base is forming.

Explanation:

Lithium metal reacts with water to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.  

Li + H₂O → LiOH + H₂

LiOH is base. LiOH dissociates in water to release the hydroxyl ion OH⁻ which makes the pH greater than 7.0.

Phenolphthalein is an acid base indicator. It is colorless in acidic solution and turns pink in basic solution.

Changing atmospheric conditions, like increasing carbon dioxide content, might possibly _____.
kobusy [5.1K]
<span>Changing atmospheric conditions, like increasing carbon dioxide content, might possibly increase the risk of global warming. Carbon dioxide, along with other greenhouse gases, is one of the leading causes of our Earth's rise in temperature. This is because greenhouse gases trap the planet's heat inside its atmosphere, preventing it from leaving the Earth's surface. </span>

A planet orbiting the Sun will experience the largest gravitational force and greatest tangential speed when it is
Travka [436]

Answer:

A planet's orbital speed changes, depending on how far it is from the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.

Answer:

Option B: cooling as the lava runs down the mountain

Explanation:

The point R is basically at near the Earth's surface.

Now, we are told that rocks melt underground to form magma. This is a process of formation of igneous rocks. So, in formation of igneous rocks another process that will contribute to formation of rocks at point R is named cooling.

Cooling is a process where the larva runs down the mountain that makes magma hardened and makes it it turn into igneous rock.
