The environment affects natural selection. Speices need to adapt to changes in environmnet. The weaker organisms which fail to adapt to environment perish while the stronger ones who adapt to the environment survive. This is how environment affects natural selection.
Answer:
Explanation:
phenolphthalein indicator is an acid - alkaline organic dye that changes color over a particular pH range depending on the medium. As such , asides phenolphthalein, methyl orange, Alzarian yellow are other indicators that are used during avid - base titration experiment.
In this case, phenolphthalein in an acidic medium is colorless while in basic medium is pink. Also phenolphthalein been a weak acid reacting with the hydroxide thereby reducing the concentration, this will have an effect on the equilibrium position by favoring the forward reaction i.e product formation. hence more products will be formed.
In the case of ammonium chloride, the addition of more ammonium ions results in an increase in the concentration of the products and as such, if more ammonium ions are removed, the equilibrium position will shift to favor the backward reaction i.e reactant formation.
The balanced equation for the above neutralisation reaction is as follows;
2KOH + H₂SO₄ --> K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of KOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1
neutralisation is the reaction between H⁺ ions and OH⁻ ions to form water which is neutral
number of KOH moles - 1.56 mol
2 mol of KOH require 1 mol of H₂SO₄ for neutralisation
therefore 1.56 mol of KOH require - 1/2 x 1.56 mol = 0.78 mol
0.78 mol of H₂SO₄ are required for neutralisation
