Answer is: A. test and determine the pH values of unknown solutions.

Acid-base indicators are usually weak acids or bases and they are chemical detectors for hydrogen or hydronium cations (pH or pOH values).

Example for acid-base indicator is phenolphthalein (molecular formula C₂₀H₁₄O₄). Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions.

Another example is methyl orange. It is red colour in acidic solutions and yellow colour in basic solutions.

Answer: The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

An indicator is a substance which changes color to show any chemical change happening in the reaction. It gives the visible sign of any change.

Hence, main role of indicators from the given options is to determine the pH values of unknown solutions.

pH is the scale which shows the acidity and basicity of the solutions. It is the negative logarithmic value of hydrogen ion concentration of the solution. More the hydrogen ion concentration, less will be the pH and more acidic will be the solution.

pH=-\log[H^+]

The scale ranges from 0 to 14.

The value ranging from 0 to 6.9 are acidic solutions.

The value ranging from 7.1 to 14 are basic solutions.

The value having pH = 7 is neutral solution.

Indicator used to determine the pH of the solution is pH-paper which is shown in the image.

Answer:

plasma

Explanation:

Plasmas are a lot like gases, but the atoms are different, because they are made up of free electrons and ions of an element such as neon (Ne). You don't find naturally occurring plasmas too often when you walk around. They aren't things that happen regularly on Earth.

Describe what is happening in this chemical equation: Al2(SiO3)3 + NaOH → Na(SiO3)3 + Al2OH Please Help ASAP
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Double replacement reaction

Explanation:

This is what is known as a double replacement reaction. The two parts of each molecule separate and recombine to form two new compounds. For instance, Al_2(SiO_3)_3 separates into Al_2 and (SiO_3)_3, while NaOH separates into Na and OH, and then they recombine with the other compound.

Hope this helps!
