What is the purpose of adding phenolphthalein to your Erlenmeyer flask prior to starting a titration?

Chemistry
1 answer:
koban [17]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Why would defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints, as <u>collagen is an important component protein in body</u><u> connective tissues</u>

Explanation:

Collagen is a crucial protein in the extracellular matrix of various connective tissues in body (tendons, ligaments, muscles). It constitutes major protein component in mammals body.

Collagen Vascular disease is a group of diseases affecting 'collagen' connecting tissue. Apart from inheritance, they can con occur due to autoimmune disease. This implies that body's immune system fights against itself & mistakenly damages its own tissues. So, these diseases have a huge bearing on body joints components. Eg : Lupus , Arthritis are common collagen vascular diseases. Arthritis mostly affects adults above 30 years of age, lupus can be diagnosed in younger people above 15 years of age also.

The bulb lights up in the circuit. Only two rods are conductors of electricity. Which one of the rods, X, Y or Z is definitely a
meriva

Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X

Identify and explain the process shown below. Name any two products obtained during this process and state their uses.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

This is heating limestone

Explanation:

Process:

limestone is heated strongly. After a while, the limestone begins to go cloudy. Test tube is heated too much that it is beginning to  soften it. After removing limewater, test tube cools down, the pressure in the test tube drops and air pressure pushes the cold the liquid into the hot test tube with terrible result.

Products:

Limestone is also known as calcium carbonate and Limewater

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid sodium carbonate is put into water:
Ludmilka [50]

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates when placed in water into its component ions. The equation of the reaction can be expressed as:

Na_2CO_3_{(s)} ---> 2 Na^+_{(aq)} + CO_3^{(2+)}_{(aq)}

The dissociation leads to the formation of sodium and carbonate ions with the latter held together by its internal covalent bond.

This is unlike weak electrolytes that do not dissociate completely in water or aqueous solutions. Only a small fraction of the solute exists as ions in the solution.
