In Chemistry practical examination, three friends DEAN, BEAN, and SEAN were given test tubes. A, B, and C filled with solutions respectively. DEAN added blue litmus, BEAN added methyl orange and SEAN added the litmus solution to the given test tube respectively. DEAN found blue litmus turning red, BEAN observed methyl orange turning yellow but SEAN found no action in solution provided to him in the test tube. Comment on the nature of the theree solutions given.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As A turns blue litmus to red, it is acidic in nature. As B turns methyl orange to yellow, it is basic in nature. As C is neutral towards both the litmus, it is neutral in nature, i.e., a normal salt solution.
