Acids, Bases, and Neutralization Reactions

The table below names five acid-base indicators and shows the colours seen at various pH values. The pH values of some solutions are: Sulphuric acid pH= 1.0 Carbonic acid pH= 5.5 Ammonia pH= 9.0 Sodium hydroxide pH= 12.0 By using the CODE letters of indicators, answer the following question. Which indicators show the same colour in sodium hydroxide?

• A and B

• B and D

• D and E

• B and C

When hydrogen ion concentration is greater than hydroxide ion concentration, the solution is

• basic

• acidic

• neutral

• alkaline

An indicator was used to test a water solution with a pH of 12. Which indicator colour would be observed?

• Colourless phenolphthalein

• Colourless litmus

• Red litmus

• Pink phenolphthalein
