<u>Answer:</u> The red litmus paper turns blue on dipping in NaOH solution.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Litmus paper is the indicator that detects the nature of the solution, whether it is acidic or basic.
There are 2 types of litmus paper:
- <u>Red litmus paper:</u> This paper will turn blue if it is dipped in basic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in acidic solution.
- <u>Blue litmus paper:</u> This paper will turn red if it is dipped in acidic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in basic solution.
NaOH is a strong base, so when a red litmus paper is dipped in the beaker having necessary amount of NaOH, the red litmus paper turns into blue.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
NH3/NH4+
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
From the equation;
NH3(aq)+HNO3(aq)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq)
NH3 is the base; while NH4+ is the conjugate acid
HNO3 is the acid; while NO3- is the conjugate base
- The conjugate base of a Brønsted-Lowry acid is species that is formed after an acid donates a proton while the conjugate acid of a Brønsted-Lowry base is the species formed after a base accepts a proton.
