Solution x turned blue litmus red and Solution y turned red litmus blu

1.	Solution x turned blue litmus red and Solution y turned red litmus blue. a) What products could be formed when x and y are mixed? b) Which gas is released when we put magnesium pieces in solution x? c) Will any chemical reaction take place when zinc pieces are put in solution y? d) Which of the above solutions contain more hydrogen ions?
Answer» Given solution Y turned blue litmus into red so, Y is an acid. Given solution ‘y’ turned red litmus into blue so, ‘y’ is a base. a) The reaction of an acid (x) with a base to give a salt and water. b) When we put magnesium pieces in solution releases hydrogen gas. c) When zinc pieces are put in solution y, a chemical reaction will take place there. d) Acids contain more H+ ions in the given solutions, Y has more H+ ions because it is an acid.

Answer»

Given solution Y turned blue litmus into red so, Y is an acid.

Given solution ‘y’ turned red litmus into blue so, ‘y’ is a base.

a) The reaction of an acid (x) with a base to give a salt and water.

b) When we put magnesium pieces in solution releases hydrogen gas.

c) When zinc pieces are put in solution y, a chemical reaction will take place there.

d) Acids contain more H+ ions in the given solutions, Y has more H+ ions because it is an acid.
