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.

Five gases combined in a gas cylinder have the following partial pressures: 3.00 atm (N2), 1.80 atm (O2), 0.29 atm (Ar), 0.18 at
levacccp [35]
In order to solve the total pressure that is exerted by the gases, we need to use the Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. These are the calculations that you need to find out the total amount of pressure exerted to the gases:

3.00atm (N2) + 1.80atm (O2) + 0.29atm (Ar) + 0.18atm (He) + 0.10atm (H),
add up all of that, and the answer would turn out to be: 5.37atm.

How many grams are in 2.5 moles of N2? <br><br> (2 decimal places)
Leokris [45]

Answer: How many grams are in 2.5 moles of N2?

Explanation: 1 mole is equal to 1 moles N2, or 28.0134 grams.

 One mole of N2 molecules would have a mass of 2 X 14.01 g = 28.02 g.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. At chemical equilibrium, the amount of because .
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The answer that completes the question are in BOLD:

At chemical equilibrium, the amount of PRODUCT AND REACTANT REMAIN CONSTANT because the RATES OF THE FORWARD AND REVERSE REACTIONS ARE EQUAL.

Explanation:

In a reversible chemical reaction, an equilibrium is said to be achieved when the rates of the forward reaction is equal to that of the reverse reaction. A reversible reaction is one in which products are formed from reactants simultaneously with the formation of reactants from products.

The combination of two or more substances called REACTANTS gives rise to another substance called PRODUCT, which can in turn give rise to Reactants again. With time, the rate at which the reactants give rise the products, which is called the FORWARD REACTION will be equal to the rate at which the products give rise to the reactants, which is called REVERSE REACTION. At this point, the chemical reaction is said to be in a STATE OF EQUILIBRIUM.

When the rate at which both reaction occurs becomes equal i.e. at an equilibrium state, the concentration of both the reactants and the products becomes constant i.e. no longer changes. Hence, the amount of the reactants forming the products is the same as the amount of products forming the reactants.

N.B: At chemical equilibrium, the amount of the reactants and products does not necessarily equals zero (0). It simply means that there is no net change in the concentration/amount of both reactants and products.

Answer:

Light

Explanation:

The discovery of light from the other side of a black hole was predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity. ... The research began with a slightly different aim of a more common light formed by a black hole: the corona which wraps around the outside of it, formed as material falls in.
