(a) When dry pH paper was placed over household ammonia, the paper quickly turned a dark blue, indicating that it was a base.
(b) When moist pH paper was placed over household ammonia, the paper turned dark blue faster than when dry, still indicating that it was a base.
(c) When pH paper was placed over bleach, the paper turned blue, which indicated that it was a base.
(d) When pH paper was over ammonium carbonate, the paper turned dark blue even faster than the moist paper over household ammonia, indicating that it was a base.

Most cleaning agents and detergents are basic because the alkalinity of the substance attacks fatty and oily substances, and then breaks them into components that are much easier to get out of a surface or fabric.

When you mix baking soda with vinegar, the carbonate ion in the baking …show more content…

However, this would result in a different salt being formed than before.
2NaHCO_3+H_2 〖SO〗_4 □(→┴yields ) 〖Na〗_2 〖SO〗_4+2H_2 O+2CO_2

Compounds that contained a metal with a higher change had a higher conductivity. As you move to the right along the periodic table, the metals get more and more conductive, and then conductivity drops off as soon as you get to metalloids and then nonmetals. For an element to conduct electricity, it must contain electrons that are free to move [1], and as you move to the right through the metals, the number of these electrons increases. The conductivity values for DI and tap water are much lower than the conductivity of the compounds, and this is due to less concentration of ions in the water.

A possible experiment could be that you take a compound, such as NaCl, and add it to deionized water to create different concentration levels and record the conductivity in each in order to form a
