1. Give three examples of common acid-base indicators that are not used
in this experiment. Specify the colors of each indicator in acidic,
neutral, and basic solutions.
1. Red Cabbage.
Acidic: Red- Pink
Neutral: Purple- Blue
Basic: Green- Yellow

2. Bromcresol green
Acidic: Yellow
Neutral: Green
Basic: Purple- Blue

3. Rosolic Acid
Acidic: Yellow
Neutral: Red
Basic: Orange

2. Explain why salts can be acidic, basic, or neutral. Write a chemical

equation to illustrate each case.
Because they are powerful electrolytes, salts totally separate into their parent ions in
an aqueous solution. As a result, salt solutions can be neutral, acidic, or basic.
3. Calculate the pH of 0.275M HNO 3 (nitric acid) solution. Show your
complete and neat solution and box your final answer.

4. Normal blood has a pH that ranges from 7.35 to 7.45. Calculate the
hydronium ion concentration corresponding to each pH value.
