Answer:

The litmus paper will turn blue; Ca(OH)₂  

Explanation:

Limewater is a dilute aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide.

Ca(OH)₂(aq) ⟶ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Limewater contains hydroxide ions. They cause the limewater to be basic.

Litmus is a mixture of dyes extracted from lichens. They are weak acids with complicated formulas.

Let's just write the formula for litmus as HLit.

The hydroxide ions from limewater react with the H of litmus to form a salt — the base form — and water.

    HLit + OH⁻ ⟶     Lit⁻    + H₂O

acid form            base form

    red                      blue

The base form of litmus is blue, so

Red litmus turns blue in the presence of limewater.

The coordination sphere of a complex consists of ________. The coordination sphere of a complex consists of ________. the ligand
sammy [17]

Answer:

The coordination sphere of a complex consists of <u><em>the central metal ion and the ligands bonded to it.</em></u>

Explanation:

The Coordination Compounds are sets of a central metal ion attached to a group of molecules or ions that surround it. They are also called metal complexes or simply complexes. Then they are compounds that have a central atom surrounded by a group of molecules or ions, the latter called ligands.

The central atom must have empty orbitals capable of accepting pairs of electrons, with the transition metals being the ones with the greatest tendency. Because of this, they can act as Lewis acids (electron pair acceptors). The ligands have unshared electron pairs, then acting as Lewis bases (electron pair donors).

When forming a complex, it is said that the ligands coordinate to the metal and the central metal and the ligands attached to it constitute the coordination sphere of the complex.

Finally, <u><em>the coordination sphere of a complex consists of the central metal ion and the ligands bonded to it.</em></u>
