The correct answer is statements (ii) and (iv).
Concept:
Acids:
- The substances that dissociate in an aqueous solution to release H+ ions are acids.
- They are sour in taste.
- Their pH range varies from 1 (extremely acidic) to 7 (neutral).
Explanation:
Properties of acids:
- In an aqueous solution, acids dissociate to release H+ ions.
- Aqueous solutions of acids are electrolytes i.e., they conduct electricity.
- Acids change the color of certain acid-base indicates.
- Two common indicators are litmus and phenolphthalein. Blue litmus turns red in the presence of an acid, while phenolphthalein turns colorless.
- Turmeric remains yellow in acidic solution and turns red in basic solution.
- Acids react with active metals to yield hydrogen gas.
Acids react with bases to produce a salt compound and water.
| All compounds containing hydrogen are acidic. | False, only substances that dissociate in water to release H+ ions are acidic. |
| Acids generate H+ ions in an aqueous solution. | True |
| The aqueous solution of acids changes the color of turmeric into the red. | False, the color of turmeric remains yellow. |
| The aqueous solution of acids conducts electricity. | True |
