6. Zara and Sofia put 50 cm3 of alkali into a conical flask. They
added a few drops of universal indicator to the alkali. They used
a burette to add acid to the alkali. Zara added the acid 10 cm3 at
a time. Sofia stirred the contents of the conical flask each time
acid was added. They recorded the pH after each addition of
acid.
The table shows their results.

a. What colour was the alkali and universal indicator solution at


the start? [1]

b. What colour was the solution in the flask at the end? [1]

c. Which one of the statements is correct?


• The acid was stronger than the alkali.
• The alkali was stronger than the acid.
• The acid and the alkali were equal in strength.

Common questions

At the start, the universal indicator in an alkaline solution would be purple, indicating a high pH. As acid is added and neutralization progresses, the color shifts through blue, to green (neutral pH), then finally to orange or red if the solution becomes acidic, demonstrating the transition from alkaline to neutral and possibly acidic .

When copper reacts with chlorine, the product is copper(II) chloride. This compound is characterized by its bright green color when formed as a hydrated salt, and it's typically used in applications like fungicides and as a catalyst in reactions .

If two solutions have equal molar concentrations but different pH values, it indicates that the ions' inherent strength (how fully they dissociate in water) differs. This highlights whether the substance is a strong or weak acid/alkali; strong acids/alkalis dissociate completely in solution, altering the pH more drastically than weaker counterparts .

The reaction between a solid and an acid can be considered complete when there are no further observable changes such as gas evolution, temperature change, or dissolution of the solid .

Litmus paper turns red when placed in an acidic solution .

When copper reacts with oxygen, copper oxide is formed, and the chemical symbol for copper is Cu .

A solution with a pH value of 9 is classified as weakly alkaline. This classification is justified because while the pH is above 7 (neutral), it is not significantly high to be considered strongly alkaline, indicating only a slightly higher concentration of hydroxide ions compared to a neutral solution .

The gas given off when zinc reacts with sulfuric acid is hydrogen. This can be tested by bringing a lit splint close to the gas; if hydrogen is present, it will produce a squeaky pop sound as it ignites .

The reaction between an acid and an alkali is a neutralization reaction. The primary products of this reaction are water and a salt. For instance, when hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide, the products are water and potassium chloride .

The pH value of a neutral solution is 7. This value is significant because it represents a balance between hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion concentrations, indicating neither acidic nor alkaline characteristics .
