      Compounds Colour change on adding China rose indicator
    (i) Hydroxide of group 2 element Magenta
    (ii) Oxide of element (group 16 and period 3) Magenta
    (iii) Oxide of element (electronic configuration 2, 4) Magenta
    (IV) Hydroxide of element (at. no. 19) Green
    (V) Lime water Magenta
    Which of the observations are correctly matched?

    A) (i), (ii) and (iv) only

    B) (ii), (iii) and (iv) only

    D) (i), (iii) and (iv) only

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Hydroxide of group 2 element, KOH and lime water i.e., \[Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}\] are basic in nature which turn China rose indicator green. Oxide of element belonging to group 16 and period 3 i.e., \[S{{O}_{2}}\] and oxide of element having electronic configuration 2, 4 i.e., \[C{{O}_{2}}\] are acidic in nature which turn China rose indicator magenta.
