Question
Read the following statements:
I. When a red litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, it turns blue and the reaction is exothermic.
II. When a blue litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, its colour does not change and the reaction is exothermic.
III. When a red litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, its colour does not change and the reaction is endothermic.
IV. When a blue litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, its colour does not change and the reaction is endothermic.
Which of the above statements are correct:
(A) I, and II
(B) II and III
(C) III and IV
(D) I and IV
Solution
(A)
The saponification reaction is exothermic and the soap solution is basic in nature so it turns red litmus paper into blue. When a blue litmus paper is dipped, its colour does not change.
