Why do marshmallows puff up when microwaved more than any other food?

Marshmallows expand because they are made of foamed sugar. Microwaves heat the water in the foam and the trapped air causes the marshmallow to swell up. As soon as the microwaves are turned off, the foam collapses into a gooey puddle when the expanded air no longer feels the heating effect of the water

Marshmallows contain mostly  water and sugar. When microwaved, the water heats up, so do the air bubbles in the marshmallow, and they thus take more space. Since sugar tends to soften when heated up, the marshmallow's structure will puff up as the air bubbles expand.

Indicate whether each of the following compounds will gave an acidic, basic or neutral solution when dissolved in water. Clear A
allsm [11]

Answer: ammonium bromide : acidic : The pH will be less than 7.

potassium cyanide : basic :The pH will be more than 7.

calcium nitrate: neutral : The pH will be approximately equal to 7.

calcium hypochlorite : basic :The pH will be more than 7.

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. The scale ranges from 0 to 14.

When a solution is acidic, it will show a pH in the range of 0 - 6.9. When a solution is basic, it will show a pH in the range of 7.1 - 14. When a solution is neutral, it will show a pH of 7.

ammonium bromide : NH_4Br : acidic as it is formed from the combination of strong acid HBr and weak base NH_4OH

potassium cyanide :KCN:  basic, as it is formed from the combination of weak acid HCN and strong base KOH

calcium nitrate: Ca(NO_3)_2 : neutral, as it is formed from the combination of strong acid and strong base.

calcium hypochlorite :  Ca(ClO)_2 : basic, as it is formed from the combination of weak acid HOCl and strong base Ca(OH)_2

based on what you wrote in the table in part a, what effect do lone pairs have on the bond angle? why do you think this happens?
umka21 [38]

Because they are more in close proximity to the core atom's nucleus than lone pairs are, lone pairs reject other lone pairs more strongly than bonding pairs do effect the bond angle.

When a single pair of electrons at the central atom begins to resist the bound pair of electrons, the bond angle decreases and the bonds are slightly shifted inward. It moves existing atoms closer together and modifies their geometry. It's equivalent to include an atom. When there is an increase in back bonding, the bond angle rises. Because the lone pair electrons of the two atoms reject one another, adjacent atoms in a molecule that have lone pair electrons will not be kept together in their bond as securely.
