Question

Johnny has two clear solutions, A and B, in test tubes. Blue litmus stays blue and

phenolpthalien solution turns pink when added to solution A. Blue litmus turns red
when added to solution B. Which of the following statement is true regarding the two
solutions?

Answer 1

Solution A is an acid and solution B is a base.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution A does not change the color of blue litmus but turns pink when phenolphthalein solution is added. This indicates that solution A is acidic. Solution B turns blue litmus red, which indicates that it is basic. Based on this information, we can conclude that solution A is an acid and solution B is a base.
