Answer:
156 Hydrogen atoms
Explanation:
<u>Any acyclic alkane has a molecular formula that can be expressed as</u>:
CₙH₂ₙ₊₂
Where <em>n</em> is any integer and the number of carbon atoms. For example, Propane has 3 carbon atoms, this means it would have [2*3+2] 8 hydrogen atoms, resulting with a formula of C₃H₈.
An acyclic alkane with 77 carbon atoms would thus have:
2*77 + 2 = 156 hydrogen atoms
Answer:
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.
Deductive reasoning involves making broad observations and examining possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion, which is required in the formation of a hypothesis. Conversely, inductive reasoning involves taking specific observations and making broad generalisations from these. Therefore the answer is A.

Qualitative properties are properties that are observed and can generally not be measured with a numerical result. They are contrasted to quantitative properties which have numerical characteristics.
