0.01 M HCl solution has a pH of 2. Suppose that during the experiment, both the universal pH indicator and the cabbage indicator turn orange-red for 0.01 M HCl. What can you conclude about the the cabbage indicator key?

A
It matches the universal pH indicator and is indicating the proper pH.
B
It should completely match the universal indicator key for all pH values greater than 7 (base).
C
It should completely match the universal indicator key for all pH values.
D
There was some sort of experimental error, because the indicators should never match.
5

To determine the pH of a solution using a pH indicator paper, you need a .

A
color key
B
neutral solution
C
range of acids and bases
6

While transferring NaOH solution to the pH paper, you accidentally splash it onto your skin. Check all actions you should take.

A
Tell your teacher right away.
B
Try to save the NaOH for recycling purposes.
C
Neutralize by applying a small amount of acid (e.g., HCl).
D
Wipe the NaOH with a paper towel and continue the experiment.
E
Rinse the exposed skin with water.
7

Concerning the disposal of materials at the end of the experiment, which methods are safe? Check all that apply.
