Answer 1

1. E
2. B
3. D
4. A
5. C

Answer 2

Answer: 1. a substance with a pH of 3: acid

2. a substance with a pH of 10: base

3. a substance with a pH of 7: neutral

4. an indicator: phenolphthalein

5. a scale that represents the concentration of
`H_3O^+`, 0-14: pH scale

Explanation:-

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration.

On the pH scale ranging from 0 to 14 , Acids have pH ranging from 0 to 6.9, bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14 and neutral solutions have pH equal to 7.

`pH=-\log [H^+]`

`pOH=-log[OH^-]`

`pH+pOH=14`

Indicators show a change or appearance in color at particular pH. Phenolphthalein is one such acid base indicator which shows pink color in basic solutions and colorless in acidic solutions.
