Answer:

In the presence of a base the blue litmus paper would remain blue.

Explanation:

This is because the litmus paper will react depending on the pH of the solution added. If the solution is acidic pH < 7, the litmus paper will turn red. If the solution is basic, pH > 7 the litmus paper will turn blue. If the litmus paper is blue when a base is added it will remain blue.

Factors that limit a technological design are called constrains. But why?

noname [10]

The factors that limit a technological design can be physical and social. The physical limitations are constraints due to nature itself. They include natural laws and properties of materials.

Social limitations on the other hand are limitations that arise as a result of the society we are living in and include the ease of use, safety, attractiveness, and cost.

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:which formula represents the h+ acceptor in the forward reaction?

AnnyKZ [126]

Question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
.............................................................................................................................

Answer: Option A: HCO3-(aq.)

Reason:
From the reaction, it can be seen that following reaction occurs in forward direct

HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → H2CO3(aq) + OH-(aq)

In above forward reaction, HCO3- accepts proton from H2O to generate H2CO3. Thus, according to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid-base, HCO3- is a base, while H2CO3 is a conjugate acid.
