Question

b) Ranjana has two unknown solutions: X, and Y. She performed certain tests with
indicators and observed the following:
(i) Solution X
phenolphthalein remains colourless.
(ii) Solution Y + sugar solution
Phenolphthalein turns pink.
(iii) Solution X + Solution Y
Phenolphthalein remains colourless.
Identify the nature of the solutions X and Y. Give one property for each of them.​

Answer 1

Answer:

ii solution Y.+ sugar solutions pheno lphthalein

Answer 2

Answer:

X is acid                                                                                                

Y is basic

X+Y is Neutral                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Explanation :                                                                                                                         Acid are sour in taste. Acid produce a Burning Sensation on touching. Acid are usually corrosive in nature.Acids are soluble in water.                                                                                                                                       Y is base . base are bitter in taste. base are soapy to touch. bases may or may not be soluble in water                                                                                      

X+ Y is neutral . A chemical reaction between an acid and a base that produces salt & water with the release of heat is neutral solution or when an acid  solution is mixed with base , both solutions cancel out the effects of each other.                                                                                                            hope its helpful
