  3. presence of H⁺(aq) in the solution
  4. presence of Litmus which acts as an indicator
  1. i and ii
  2. Only ii
  3. Only iii
  4. Only iv

 

Answer:

  • Litmus is an indicator that indicates the presence of acids or bases by changing its colour.
  • When an acid is added to litmus, it changes its colour to red .
  • When a base is added it changes its colour to blue . 
  • In the figure, conc H 2 SO 4 is being added to a tube containing NaCl . 

The following reaction takes place:

Reaction between H2SO4 and NaCl - Teachoo.jpg

  • Here, HCl is liberated in the form of a gas .
  • Since HCl is an acid, the litmus turns red due to the HCl gas.
  • The acid causes the solution to have H+ ions .

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) only (iii)
