An element E reacts with water to form a solution which turns phenolphthalein solution pink. The element E is most likely to be:
(a) S
(b) Ca
(c) C
(d) Ag

Solution
(b) Ca
Calcium is the metal that can react with water to form calcium hydroxide, which is basic in nature. Hence it turns phenolphthalein solution pink.
