(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
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 .
