If methyl orange is added to a substance and it turns the substance red, what does this tell you about the pH of the substance? Would this substance be an acid or a base?

Explanation:

methyl orange turns pink in an acidic solution

yellow in basic and orange in neutral

The substance would be a strong acid.

Explanation:

Methyl orange turns orange when it is added to a medium acid and turns red when it is added to a strong acid. The pH of the acid would be above 4 because it is a strong acid. Methyl orange turns yellow when it is added to a medium base.

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
