A student prepared solutions of (i) an acid and (ii) a base in two separate beakers. She forgot to label the solutions and litmus paper is not available in the laboratory. Since both the solutions are colourless how will she distinguish between the two ?

To distinguish between the two colorless solutions of an acid and a base without using litmus paper, the student can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Select an Indicator**: The student should choose a suitable pH indicator that can help identify whether a solution is acidic or basic. Two common options are phenolphthalein and turmeric. 2. **Using Phenolphthalein**: - **Add Phenolphthalein**: The student should take a small amount of each solution and add a few drops of phenolphthalein to each beaker. ...

A coloured solution known to contain two metal ions, was treated with excedss cold sodium hydroxide solution. When filtered a whitish solid, slowly changing to brown, was retained on the filter paper and a colourless solution collected as the filtrate. dropwise addition of hydrochloric acid to the filtrate produced a white ppt. which dissolved in excess acid. treatment of the residue on filter paper with a solution of strong oxidier produced a reddishh-violet solution.. indicate any pairs of ions:

A student is running at her top speed of 5.0 m s^(-1) , to catch a bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still 40.0m from the bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of 0.2 m s^(-2) . a For how much time and what distance does the student have to run at 5.0 m s^(-1) before she overtakes the bus? b. When she reached the bus, how fast was the bus travelling? c. Sketch an x-t graph for bothe the student and the bus. d. Teh equations uou used in part (a)to find the time have a second solution, corresponding to a later time for which the student and the bus are again at thesame place if they continue their specified motions. Explain the significance of this second solution. How fast is the bus travelling at this point? e. If the student s top speed is 3.5 m s^(-1), will she catch the bus? f.

When an aqueous solution of a colourless mixture of two salts is treated with a drop of chlorine water, the solution becomes brown. Some chloroform is added to the brown solution and the resulting mixture is shaken wel. The chloroform layer becomes violet. (ii) When chlorine water is again added dropwise to the above mixture, the chloroform layer becomes colourless. (iii) On being heated with solid K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) and concentrated H_(2)SO_(4) , the solid mixture gives vapours of a dark colour which form a yellow solution with aqueous NaOH. On acidification with acetic acid followed by treatment with lead acetate, the yellow solution gives a yellow precipitate. (iv) When boiled with an NaOH solution, the mixture gives a gas that produces thick white fumes with HCl vapours and turns nessler's reagent brown. the mixture does not respond to any other test for cations. (v) The mixture, on being heated, gets completely sublimed. Q. The brown solutin obtained in (i) is due to:
