Important Questions on Acids, Bases and Salts

An indicator is added to Potassium Hydroxide and the solution turns pink:
Name the indicator that is added.

Which of the following is not an olfactory indicator?






Vankarbhaibhas explained the definition of an acid and a base, given by Robert Boyle in the classroom. Then the students of the classroom gave some suggestions regarding acid and base. Which suggestion is wrong among these?
Prashant: Acids are sour in taste and bases are bitter.
Dhruvi: Acid does not give any effect on wet blue litmus paper while base turns blue litmus paper blue.
Seil: Acid liberates dry hydrogen gas by the reaction with the metal. The base does not react with all metals.
Jaydeep: By neutralisation reaction between acid and base, salt and water is produced.



Pratyush took sulphur powder on a spatula and heated it. He collected the evolved by inverting a test tube over it. What will be the action of gas on the following?
Dry litmus paper.

You are provided with aqueous solutions of three salts and . drops of blue litmus solution, red litmus solution and phenolphthalein were added to each of these solutions in separate experiments. The change in colour of different indicators were recorded in the following table:
Sample | With blue litmus solution | With red litmus solution | With phenolphthelein |
A | No change | Turns blue | Turns pink |
B | No change | No change | No change |
C | Turns red | No change | No change |
On the basis of above observations, identify and from the following options:



The salt solution which does not react with ammonium hydroxide is:

An indicator is added to Potassium Hydroxide and the solution turns pink:
What is the colour change you will observe if you add litmus to the same solution?

Pratyush took sulphur powder on a spatula and heated it. He collected the evolved by inverting a test tube over it. What will be the action of gas on the following?
Moist litmus paper.
