Use blue litmus paper. This is an indicator that can safely determine whether it is a base or an acid by changing color in response to the substance. This color indicates whether it is an acid or a base. Refer to the pH scale to see if the substance is basic or acidic.
Answer:
Explanation:
In this case the answer would be
Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative side
Now since these negative and positives are present in the water molecule . In easy terms when a substance reacts with water .the negative part of water ( oxygen ) reacts with the positive part of the substance and the positive part of the water ( hydrogen) reacts with negative part of the substance .if you look at the reason . Water is held up by one of the strongest attraction forces available .since most substances have weaker attraction forces between them ,therefore water can easily overcome them with its forces. Thus giving it the ability to dissolve a variety of substances
The volume of SO2 produced at 325k is calculated as below
calculate the moles of SO2 produced which is calculated as follows
write the reacting equation
K2SO3 +2 HCl = 2KCl +H2O+ SO2
find the moles of HCl used
=mass/molar mass = 15g/ 36.5 g/mol =0.411 moles
by use of mole ratio between HCl to SO2 which is 2:1 the moles of SO2 is therefore = 0.411 /2 =0.206 moles of SO2
use the idea gas equation to calculate the volume SO2
that is V=nRT/P
where n=0.206 moles
R(gas constant) = 0.082 L.atm/ mol.k
T=325 K
P=1.35 atm
V=(0.206 moles x 0.082 L.atm/mol.k x325 k)/1.35 atm = 4.07 L of SO2
