How does an indicator differentiate between an acid and base?

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

that is all I know sorry hope that may help you :)

Explanation:

Indicator is a substance which shows different colors in acidic and basic medium. Indicators can be natural (derived from natural sources) or artificial ( man-made) for example :

*Litmus is an indicator. Acid turns blue litmus into red while base turns red litmus into blue

* Turmeric solution does not show change in color (remains yellow) in acidic solution and turns red in basic solution.

A 52.0 g of Copper (specific heat=0.0923cal/gC) at 25.0C is warmed by the addition of 299 calories of energy. find the final tem

Leto [7]

Answer : The final temperature of the copper is, $87.29^oC$

Solution :

Formula used :

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

Q = heat gained = 299 cal

m = mass of copper = 52 g

c = specific heat of copper = $0.0923cal/g^oC$

$\Delta T=\text{Change in temperature}$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $25^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the final temperature of copper.

$299cal=52g\times 0.0923cal/g^oC\times (T_{final}-25^oC)$

$T_{final}=87.29^oC$

Therefore, the final temperature of the copper is, $87.29^oC$

g Select the correct statements. I. Reduction is the loss of electrons, and oxidation is the gain of electrons II. Reduction is

Karolina [17]

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the substance decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are the agents that helps in the oxidation of other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the substance increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reducing agents are the agents that helps in the reduction of the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation state is the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript. In a compound, the total charge is equal to the sum of the charges of all atoms in that compound. For Example: In $MnO_4^-$ , manganese has +7 oxidation number and oxygen has -2.

So, the charge on the compound = $[=7+(4\times (-2))]=-1$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
