Ca(OH)2 is added to a large beaker of water. How is the solution different from the original water?

A...The solution turns blue litmus to red.

B...The solution turns phenolphthalein pink.

C...The solution has more hydrogen ions.

D....The solution has fewer hydroxide ions.

Respuesta :

When Ca(OH)₂ is added to a beaker of water the solution would turn phenolphthalein pink.  Phenolphthalein is a common indicator and is only pink when in basic solutions.  By adding calcium hydroxide, you are turning the solution into a basic solution since the concentration of OH⁻ ions is going up and therefore any phenolphthalein in solution would turn pink.
(answers A,C, and D would happen if you added an acid to the water such as HCl)
I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Ca(OH)2 is added to a large beaker of water. The solution different from the original water are the solution turns blue litmus to red, will has more hydrogen, and has fewer hydroxide ions.

What is a solution?

A solution is a mixture of two or more solute into solvents. Solution is made by mixing of two or more molecules.

For example, is a solution of water and salt.

Thus, the correct option is A, C, and D.
