Chemistry - Acids and Bases - Indicators

Questions and Answers

Q1: Why there is a need for indicators to test acids and bases?

Answer: It would be too dangerous to taste a liquid to find out if it was acidic or basic. Chemists use substances or dyes called indicators which change colour or odour when they are added to acids or bases.


Q2: What is an indicator? Give examples of indicators.

Answer:  An indicator is a dye or substance that changes colour or its smell when it is put into acid or a base. An indicator gives different colours in acid and base. Thus an indicator tells us if the given substance is an acid or base by changing its colour. The three common indicators are: Litmus, Methyl orange, phenolphthalein.


Q3: What are different types of indicators?

Class 10 - English - First flight – Chapter 3: Two Stories about Flying 

(Q and A)

First Story: His First Flight

Q1: Why was the young seagull afraid to fly? Do you think all young birds are afraid to make their first flight, or are some birds more timid than others? Do you think a human baby also finds it a challenge to take its first steps?

Answer: The younger seagull was afraid to fly as it changed into its first flight. It is a known fact that doing something for the first time is hard. Consequently, all younger birds must be afraid to make their first flights. Further, a human child would additionally find it challenging to take its first step.


Q2:  “The sight of the food maddened him.” What does this suggest? What compelled the young seagull to finally fly? 

Class 7 - Maths - Properties of Integers (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)(#class7maths)

Class 7 - Mathematics - Properties of Integers 

1. Closure Property Under Addition

Integers are closed under addition, i.e. for any two integers,a and b, a+b is an integer. 
eg: 3 + 4 = 7
   -9 + 7 = 2


2. Closure Property under Subtraction: 

Integers are closed under subtraction, i.e. for any two integers,a and b, a-b is an integer.
eg:
-21 -(-9) = -12
8  -3    = 5

3. Closure Property under Multiplication: 

Integers are closed under multiplication, i.e. for any two integers,a and b, ab is an integer.
e.g.
5 × 6 = 30
-3 × -8 = 24
-3 × 7 = -21

CBSE Class 7 - Maths - Chapter 1 - Integers and Operations On Integers (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

Integers and Operations On Integers 

Class 7 - Mathematics

1. When two positive integers are added, we get a positive integer.
     e.g. 6 + 4 = 10

2. When two negative integers are added, we get a negative integer.
     e.g.  -6 + (-3) = -9

3. When a positive and a negative integer are added, the sign of the sum is always the sign of the bigger number of the two, without considering their signs.
     e.g.  45 + -25 = 20   and    -45 + 20 = -25

4. Additive Inverse
The additive inverse of any integer a is - a, and the additive inverse of (- a) is a.
e.g.  Additive inverse of (-15) = - (-15) = 15
