it means it is neither an alkene or an alkyne since potassium permanganate fades to pink or brown when it reacts to those hydrocarbons.

What colour does blue litmus paper turn when dipped in alkaline?

Blue litmus paper stays blue in a neutral solution. It turns red only when in an acidic solution. Similarly, red litmus paper would stay red in a neutral solution and turn blue in an alkaline solution. Added: acidic: pH below 5.5 it turns (stays) red alkaline: pH above 8.0 it turns (stays) blue neutral, in between 5.5 and 8.0: its color is purple, between 'red and blue' or 'blue and red' A much better indicator paper is universal indicator paper. It is yellow and can tell you the exact pH of the solution it is dipped in, going yellow to red in acidic conditions, blue to purple in alkaline conditions and green in neutral conditions. The exact colour depends on the pH.


When the acidic solution is added to the basic solution what happens to the pH does it increase decrease or stays the same?

It depends on the original pH of both solutions.


Describe how the pH of a solution can be measured using pH paper?

The PH paper soaks up the solution & tests the liquid, the pH paper will then change colour to show what the solution contains. Although if the paper stays the same colour it means the solution is nutral & safe.


What color does litmus paper change if added to alkali?

The first litmus papers were white. Now we got in red and blue. They are more reliable. In blue litmus, an alkali solution stays blue. If it turns red, that means you have an acidic solution.

What is different about mixture and solution?

In a mixture, the solute is not completely dissolved by the solvent and so stays detectable (a heterogeneous mixture). In a solution, the solute is completely dissolved and cannot be distinguished from the solvent (a homogeneous solution)


How do you make an indicator?

If you want to make a purple indicator, just cut up some purple cabbage and cook it in boiling water for about 5-10 minutes or until it turns purple. When you place another substance in it it will turn pink if it is acidic, and if if turns a green it is a base...... if it stays purple the substance is neutral.


How would you separate the salt in the water solution?

If the solution only consists of dissolved salt and water, the answer is simple, just use evaportation, water goes, salt stays.
