In the titration of lemon juice, the presence of ascorbic acid means the concentration of citric acid you calculated is higher.

An acid-base titration is a common way to determine the unknown concentration of an acid, given we know the concentration of the base and determine the spent volume in the titration. Let's consider the neutralization reactions that take place in a mixture of citric acid and ascorbic acid.

Citric acid titration :

3 NaOH(aq)  +  H₃C₆H₅O₇(aq)  →  Na₃C₆H₅O₇(aq)  +  3 H₂O(l)

Ascorbic acid titration:

NaOH(aq) + HC₆H₇O₆(aq)  →   NaC₆H₇O₆(aq)   +  H₂O(l)

If we titrated a solution that contained only citric acid, we can relate through stoichiometry the moles and concentration of citric acid. However, if the solution also contained ascorbic acid, we would have to spend more NaOH to titrate it. Since more NaOH would react, we would conclude that there is more citric acid to react, calculating a higher concentration of the same.

In the titration of lemon juice, the presence of ascorbic acid means the concentration of citric acid you calculated is higher.

What happens to the chemical identity of a substance during a physical change?
klio [65]
Nothing happens because a physical change only changes the appearance of the substance, whereas a chemical change transforms the substance into something completely different.
i.e. (chemical change) wood + fire = ash
(physical change) wood + axe = smaller pieces of wood

Solve the quadratic equation 2x^2+13x=15 by method of completing the square<br>​
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x = 1, -7.5

Explanation:

2x² + 13x = 15

Divide the left side of the equation by 2

2(x² + 6.5x) = 15

Divide 6.5 by 2 and square the quotient

6.5/2 = 3.25

3.25² = 10.5625

Add 10.5625 to the left side

2(x² + 6.5x + 10.5625) = 15

Since you have a 2 outside the parentheses, you will be adding 10.5625•2 to the right side.

10.5625 • 2 = 21.125

2(x² + 6.5x + 10.5625) = 36.125

To factor (x² + 6.5x + 10.5625), add b/2 to x

b/2 = 6.5/2 = 3.25

2(x + 3.25)² = 36.125

Divide by 2

(x + 3.25)² = 18.0625

Square root.

(x + 3.25) = √18.0625

x + 3.25 = ±4.25

Subtract 3.25.

x = 4.25 - 3.25 = 1

x = -4.25 - 3.25 = -7.5

x = 1, -7.5

Which best explains why water is able to “stick” to the side of glass?
AveGali [126]

Explanation:

Adhesion means the ability to stick on the surface of another substance.

Water exhibits adhesive forces due to which it is able to stick to the glass.  Due to adhesive forces water spreads over the surface of glass and sticks to it.

These adhesive forces between the glass and water enough that it deforms the spherical shape of water molecules and help them stick to the surface of glass. As a result, adhesive forces overcome the repulsion between like molecules.

Hence, water is able to “stick” to the side of glass due to strong adhesive forces.
