Question

being used in experiments to test/ize whear in the picture above, the beaker on the left contains a solution of vinegar. what can you conclude about the one on the right? a the solution on the right has a ph less than 7 b the solution on the right will not conduct electricity c this ume contains hcl and h_2so_4 d it must be a base since it has the opposite reaction to litmus paper as

Explanation:

Vinegar is an acidic solution. Litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions. The litmus paper in the left - beaker (vinegar) is red and in the right - beaker is blue, so the solution on the right is basic. A basic solution has a pH greater than 7, conducts electricity (as it has ions), and is not likely to contain strong acids like HCl and H₂SO₄. Since it turns litmus blue, it must be a base.

Answer:

D. It must be a base since it turns the blue - litmus paper red.
