In Part C (Acid-Base Indicators) of the experiment, you are told to dispose of the used chemicals by pouring them into the sink. Consider the reaction that is possible between the used chemicals. What compound different from those in the used chemicals will be in the drain water as a result of this disposal?
a. HCL b. NaOH . c. NaCL
Explain your answer.
Answer is c. NaCl.
Because NaCl is salt and it can't respond to acid-base Indicators. NaCl is neutral salt and it will have pH 7.
HCl is acid so it responds to acid-base indicators.
NaOH is base so it responds to acid-base indicators.
This experiment is acid base indicator so netral salts are different from acids and bases. Because pH value is changed with concentration of acid and concentrationof base. pH does not change with concentrationof neutral salt.
Hence NaCl is different.
