Question

A gas produced in the laboratory is highly soluble in water. Its colourless solution turns pink when a few drops of phenolphthalein is added to it. What is the nature of this gas

Answer 1

Its is basic in nature

Answer 2

HEY FRIEND HERE IS UR ANSWER,

Phenolphthalein indicator is colorless in acidic medium or solution whereas in basic solution it turns pink.

Given that the gas is soluble and its solution turns the phonolphthalein indicator pink then we conclude that:

1) The gas is soluble in water

2) The gas is basic

The gas therefore should have the properties above.

A soluble basic gas that we have is the Ammonia gas.

Ammonia gas is soluble in water.

This solution is basic and turns the phenolphthalein indicator pink.

HOPE IT HELPS :)
