(a) Define a universal indicator. Mention its one use.
(b) Solution A gives pink colour when a drop of phenolphthalein indicator is added to it. Solution B gives red colour when a drop of methyl orange is added to it. What type of solutions are A and B and which one of the solutions and will have a higher value ?
(c) Name one salt whose solution has more than 7 and one salt whose solution has less than 7
(b) Solution A gives pink colour when a drop of phenolphthalein indicator is added to it. Solution B gives red colour when a drop of methyl orange is added to it. What type of solutions are A and B and which one of the solutions and will have a higher value ?
(c) Name one salt whose solution has more than 7 and one salt whose solution has less than 7
Solution:
(a) Universal indicator is a mixture of many different indicators which gives different colours at different values of the entire scale.
It shows different colours at different concentrations of hydrogen ions in a solution.
(b) Solution A gives pink colour when a drop of phenolphthalein indicator is added, therefore A is a base.
Solution B gives red colour when a drop of methyl orange is added to it, therefore is an acid.
Hence, solution A will have less concentration of hydrogen ion than .
Thus, A will have more than 7 beause value of
(i) an acid solution
(ii) a base solution
(iii) a neutral solution
(c) (i) The salts of strong acids and weak bases give acidic solution having less than 7. Example, , Ammonium Chloride will have less than 7.
(ii) The salts of weak acids and strong bases give basic solution having pH more than 7. Example, Sodium Carbonate will have more than 7 .
