Answer:

Indicators show changes in the pH of a solution

Explanation:

A pH meter is an instrument that measures the hydrogen-ion activity in aqueous solutions, indicating the acidity or alkalinity of the solution expressed as pH .The pH meter measures the difference in electrical potential between a pH electrode and a reference electrode, hence the pH meter is sometimes referred to as a potentiometric pH meter. Potentiometric pH meters measure the voltage between two electrodes and display the result converted into the corresponding pH value. The instrument comprises of a simple electronic amplifier and a pair of electrodes, or alternatively a combination electrode, and some form of display calibrated in pH units. It usually has a glass electrode and a reference electrode, or a combination electrode. The electrodes, or probes, are inserted into the solution to be tested.

Organic indicators are chemical species that change their colour in response to changes in the pH of the solution. This implies that the anionic and protonated forms of the indicator possess different colours. Hence the colour changes in acidic, basic and neutral solutions. The images attached indicate the colour changes in phenolphthalein and methyl orange in acidic and basic media accordingly.

A sample of CO2 gas has a volume of 2.7 L at 78.5 kPa. At what pressure would this sample of gas have a volume of 4.0L? Temperat
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

52.99 kPa

Explanation:

Initial volume V1 = 2.7 L

Initial Pressure P1 = 78.5 kPa

Final Volume V2 = 4.0L

Final Pressure P2 = ?

Temperature is constant

The relationship between these quantities is given by the mathematical expression of Boyles law. This is given as;

V1P1 = V2P2

P2 = V1P1 / V2

P2 = 2.7 * 78.5 /  4.0

P2 = 52.99 kPa
