Q37. Dorji has a few bottles of soft drink in his restaurant. But, unfortunately, these are not labelled. He has to serve the drinks on the demand of customers. One customer wants acidic drink, another wants basic and third one wants neutral drink. How will Dorji decide which drink is to be served to whom?
Ans. Dorji can use red and blue litmus paper in order to test the drink.
i. The drink which does not change the colour of either red or blue litmus is the neutral drink.
ii. The drink which turns red litmus blue is the basic drink.
iii. The drink which turns blue litmus red is the acidic drink.

Q42. Three liquids are given to you. One is hydrochloric acid; another is sodium hydroxide and third is a sugar solution. How will you identify them? You have only turmeric indicator.
Ans. Put a drop of each of the three liquids i.e. hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and sugar solution on the turmeric indicator, the liquid which changes the colour of turmeric indicator to red is basic in nature, that is, sodium hydroxide.
Now, put a drop of sodium hydroxide on a drop of each of the other two liquids separately i.e. hydrochloric acid and sugar solution. After that, put the drops of these mixtures on turmeric indicator. The drop which will change colour of the turmeric indicator to red contains sugar solution. This is because the mixture of basic and neutral solution is basic in nature. On the other hand, the drop will not change the colour of turmeric indicator contains hydrochloric acid. This is because hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form a neutral solution.
