Part II. You considered the properties of two acid-base indicators, phenolphthalein and methyl orange. Many indicators are weak acids in water and establish the equilibrium: HIn(aq)(Color 1) H2O(l) H3O (aq) In-(aq)(Color 2). Indicators change color depending on whether they are in a protonated (HIn) or unprotonated (In-) form. What is the equilibrium expression for the phenolphthalein indicator in water and what colors are the protonated and unprotonated forms of the indicator

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
