b.1. 6 m h2so4 is carelessly substituted for 6 m hcl. will more or fewer drops of 6 m h2so4 be required for the litmus to change color? explain.

Answer 1

Litmus paper is an indicator that changes color to identify the acidity or basicity of a certain substance. This changes color from blue to red for acids. Since given the same concentration of the compounds, the number of H⁺ in H₂SO₄ is approximately twice that of HCl.

Therefore, fewer drops of H₂SO₄ will be required in order to change the color of the litmus paper.
