    Base your answers to questions 7 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    A sample of normal rainwater has a pH value of 5.6 due to dissolved carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere. Acid rain is formed when other gases, such as sulfur dioxide, dissolve in rainwater, which can result in lake water with a pH value of 4.6. The equation below represents the reaction of water with SO2(g).

    State the color of methyl orange in a sample of normal rainwater.

    Allow 1 credit for yellow.

    Base your answers to questions 8 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    In a laboratory investigation, an HCl(aq) solution with a pH value of 2 is used to determine the molarity of a KOH(aq) solution. A 7.5-milliliter sample of the KOH(aq) is exactly neutralized by 15.0 milliliters of the 0.010 M HCl(aq). During this laboratory activity, appropriate safety equipment is used and safety procedures are followed.

    8

    State the color of the indicator bromcresol green if it is added to a sample of the KOH(aq) solution.

    Allow 1 credit for blue.

    Base your answers to questions 9 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    A student is to determine the concentration of an NaOH(aq) solution by performing two different titrations. In a first titration, the student titrates 25.0 mL of 0.100 M H2SO4(aq) with NaOH(aq) of unknown concentration.

    In a second titration, the student titrates 25.0 mL of 0.100 M HCl(aq) with a sample of the NaOH(aq). During this second titration, the volume of the NaOH(aq) added and the corresponding pH value of the reaction mixture is measured. The graph below represents the relationship between pH and the volume of the NaOH(aq) added for this second titration.

    State the color of phenolphthalein indicator if it were added after the HCl(aq) was titrated with 50. mL of NaOH(aq).

    Allow 1 credit for pink.

    Base your answers to questions 10 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    Carbon dioxide is slightly soluble in seawater. As carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere increase, more CO2 dissolves in seawater, making the seawater more acidic because carbonic acid, H2CO3(aq), is formed.

    Seawater also contains aqueous calcium carbonate, CaCO3(aq), which is used by some marine organisms to make their hard exoskeletons. As the acidity of the sea water changes, the solubility of CaCO3 also changes, as shown in the graph below.

    10

    State the color of bromcresol green in a sample of seawater in which the CaCO3 solubility is 10−2 M.

    Allow 1 credit for blue.

    11

    State the color of methyl orange indicator after the indicator is placed in a solution of 0.10 M NH3(aq).

    Allow 1 credit for yellow.

    Base your answers to questions 12 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    Vinegar is a commercial form of acetic acid, HC2H3O2(aq). One sample of vinegar has a pH value of 2.4.

    12

    State the color of bromthymol blue indicator in a sample of the commercial vinegar.

    Allow 1 credit for yellow.

    Base your answers to questions 13 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    The hydrangea is a flowering plant. The color of the flowers it produces can change depending on the pH value of the soil in which the plant grows. Adding aluminum sulfate makes the soil more acidic and adding calcium hydroxide makes the soil more basic.

    A student performed an experiment by varying soil pH and recording the color of the flowers. The following table summarizes the results of the experiment.

    Hydrangea plants can be grown in soil that turns litmus red. What color are the flowers of the plants grown in this soil?

    Allow 1 credit for blue.

    Base your answers to questions 14 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    A company produces a colorless vinegar that is 5.0% HC2H3O2 in water. Using thymol blue as an indicator, a student titrates a 15.0-milliliter sample of the vinegar with 43.1 milliliters of a 0.30 M NaOH(aq) solution until the acid is neutralized.

    14

    Based on Table M, what is the color of the indicator in the vinegar solution before any base is added?
