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.

Nickel(II) iodide       NiI₂            H₂O(ℓ),  I⁻(aq), Ni²⁺(aq)

  • Glucose and nitrogen(I) oxide are covalent compounds. They do not dissociate in solution.
  • The compounds containing metals are ionic. They produce ions in solution.
  • ZnI₂ and NiI₂ produce twice as many iodide ions as metal ions.
