Answers
Answer:
Test tube A wit 2ml ethanoic acid and 2 ml of distilled water will show a clear solution.
Explanation:
Ethanoic acid is also called as acetic acid, which is a weak acid.
When equal amount of water and acetic acid are added in a test tube, shaken well and kept still for five minutes, we can observe a clear colorless solution. This is due to the dissociation of hydrogen molecule and complete miscible nature of the acetic acid and water.
