$A$ sample of soil is mixed with water and allowed to settle. The clear supernatant solution turns the pH paper yellowish-orange. Which of the following would change the colour of this pH paper to greenish-blue?

Which of the following is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen?

Give reasons for the following:
$(i)$ Why is it recommended that acid should be added to water and not water to acid?
$(ii)$ Why do compounds like alcohol and glucose not show acidic behavior even though they contain hydrogen?

Answer the following:
$(i)$ Why is Plaster of Paris written as $CaSO_{4} \cdot 1/2 H_{2}O$? How is it possible to have half a water molecule attached to $CaSO_{4}$?
$(ii)$ Why is sodium hydrogen carbonate an essential ingredient in antacids?
$(iii)$ When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride,three products are obtained. Why is the process called chlor-alkali?
