Answer:

a. The phenolphthalein acts as a color changing indicator to signal the endpoint of the reaction.

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein is an organic substance with chemical formula C_{20}H_{14}O_{4}.

It is a substance commonly used in acid-base titrations to indicate the end point in the titration because phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions but turns a purplish-pink color in basic solutions.

In this way it helps visually to notice when the final point of the titration has been reached.

Answer:

She will need to add 5.6 cups of water

Explanation:

Hi there!

Marta has to dilute the citric acid to 5%.

The dilution factor will be 12%/ 5% = 2.4. Then, Marta will need to dilute the citric acid 2.4 times. If she has 4 cups of the solution, she will need to add water until she completes a volume of (4 cups ·2.4) 9.6 cups to reach the desired concentration.

Then, she will need to add 9.6 - 4 cups water = 5.6 cups of water

Another way to solve this is by using the fact that the mass of citric acid in the concentrated and diluted solution is the same. Then:

mass citric acid concentrated solution = mass citric acid in dilute solution

mass of citric acid = concentration · volume

Then:

initial concentration · volume = final concentration  · volume

12% · 4 cups = 5% · volume

volume = 12% · 4 cups / 5% = 9.6 cups

The final volume of the solution at 5% will be 9.6 cups. So Marta will need 9.6 cups - 4 cups = 5.6 cups water

100 PTS+BRAINILIEST: Why does it get colder as you go higher through the atmosphere, if you are getting closer to the sun??
sattari [20]

Answer/Explanation:

Heat from the sun hits the ground and is absorbed. The higher you go, it gets more colder due to the fact that the air doesn't hold onto the radiation as it goes straight through the ground, which is why the top of mountains are very cold, and people are able to die in minutes.
