Answer:

Y

ou have learnt in your previous classes that the sour and bitter

tastes of food are due to acids and bases, respectively, present in them.

If someone in the family is suffering from a problem of acidity after

overeating, which of the following would you suggest as a remedy– lemon

juice, vinegar or baking soda solution?

n Which property did you think of while choosing the remedy?

Surely you must have used your knowledge about the ability of

acids and bases to nullify each other’s effect.

n Recall how we tested sour and bitter substances without tasting

them.

You already know that acids are sour in taste and change the colour

of blue litmus to red, whereas, bases are bitter and change the colour of

the red litmus to blue. Litmus is a natural indicator, turmeric is another

such indicator. Have you noticed that a stain of curry on a white cloth

becomes reddish-brown when soap, which is basic in nature, is scrubbed

on it? It turns yellow again when the cloth is washed with plenty of

water. You can also use synthetic indicators such as methyl orange and

phenolphthalein to test for acids and bases.

In this Chapter, we will study the reactions of acids and bases, how

acids and bases cancel out each other’s effects and many more interesting

things that we use and see in our day-to-day life. Do You Know?

Litmus solution is a purple dye, which is extracted from lichen, a plant belonging to

the division Thallophyta, and is commonly used as an indicator. When the litmus

solution is neither acidic nor basic, its colour is purple. There are many other natural

materials like red cabbage leaves, turmeric, coloured petals of some flowers such as

Hydrangea, Petunia and Geranium, which indicate the presence of acid or base in a

solution. These are called acid-base indicators or sometimes simply indicators.

These indicators tell us whether a substance is acidic or basic by

change in colour. There are some substances whose odour changes in

acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Let us try

out some of these indicators.

Make a quick chart with each element represented, and count them up. HINT - leave the polyatomic anions together - in this case, PO4

Left      Right
1     Ca  3
2      O   1
5      H   2
1    PO4 2

Begin by balancing like finding common denominators of fractions - apply to both sides:
I started by adding a 2 in front of H3PO4 on the left, them 6 in front of H2O on the right. Last, a 3 in front of Ca (OH)2. Then, re-count using the chart format to make sure you're right.

3Ca(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 = Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

For an atom’s electrons, how many energy sublevels are present in the principal energy level n = 4?
jekas [21]
In this question given concerning the atom's electron, the number of energy sublevels present in the principal energy level n = 4 is to be determined. For this matter, it should be remembered that the number of sublevels of a certain principal energy level is equal to n. For this item, the number of sublevels is also 4. That is s, p, d and f.
