Question 21 • Chemistry A.1 - F26 - Jacob Metsker

Scenario: You are testing two different household solutions with your cabbage indicator, using the color key to the right.One solution turns blue. A possible hydrogen ion concentration for this solution is:

Answer
A
1 × 10-2 M
B
5 × 10-2 M
C
5 × 10-4 M
D
1 × 10-8 M

Explanation

A blue cabbage-indicator color suggests the solution is basic. Basic solutions have a hydrogen ion concentration below 1 × 10⁻⁷ M; among the choices, 1 × 10⁻⁸ M fits. The larger concentrations listed would indicate acidic solutions.
