The most common reaction that causes spoilage isn't a reaction at all. Molds and Bacteria are attracted to the easily found presence of water in the fruit. They find a natural place to reproduce and what they do causes spoilage.

Very few sources talk about the chemical changes that take place. If you put fruit in a refrigerator it slows the spoiling process down. That means that the chemical reaction has to be endothermic (it requires heat to occur)

The process of spoilage is speeded up by bananas for example, giving up Ethylene gas. You do not want to put a banana with tomatoes, because tomatoes are very sensitive to Ethylene. (It's OK to eat them together. They make a terrific salad. Yum).

I cannot find a definitive source that connects all this together, but the conduct of the fruit in refrigerators confirms what I am saying.

Spoilage is a very complex reaction and interaction with the environment. I have given you a hint of what happens but you should search it out to convince yourself of the outcome.

if you mixed 72.9g hydrochloric acid(aq) with 150g silver acetate(aq), what would be the limiting reagent?​
horsena [70]

Answer:

                      Silver Acetate would be the Limiting Reagent.

Explanation:

                    The balance chemical equation for the given double displacement reaction is as;

                            HCl + AgC₂H₃O₂ → AgCl + HC₂H₃O₂

Step 1: <u>Calculate Moles of Starting Materials:</u>

Moles of HCl:

                      Moles  =  Mass / M.Mass

                      Moles  =  72.9 g / 36.46

                      Moles =  1.99 moles

Moles of AgC₂H₃O₂:

                      Moles  =  150 g / 166.91 g/mol

                      Moles  =  0.898 moles

Step 2: <u>Find out Limiting reagent as:</u>

According to balance chemical equation.

              1 mole of HCl reacts with  =  1 mole of AgC₂H₃O₂

So,

         1.99 moles of HCl will react with  =  X moles of AgC₂H₃O₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  1.99 mol × 1 mol / 1 mol

                     X =  1.99 mol of AgC₂H₃O₂

Hence, to completely consume 1.99 moles of Hydrochloric acid we will require 1.99 moles of Silver Acetate, But, we are provided with only 0.898 moles of Silver Acetate. This means Silver Acetate will consume first in the reaction therefore, it is the LIMITING REAGENT.

Which of the following produces a physical change in the shape of an object?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:Any change that occurs without altering the chemical composition of a substance is a physical change. Physical changes can include changing the color, shape, state of matter, or volume of a substance. It is crucial to remember that physical changes never alter the chemical makeup.

An unknown compound with a molar mass of 223.94 g/mol consists of 32.18% c, 4.50% h, and 63.32% cl. find the molecular formula f
Dima020 [189]

The actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound is represented by the formula known as molecular formula.

Molar mass of the unknown compound = 223.94 g/mol (given)

Mass of each element present in the unknown compound is determined as:

  • Mass of carbon, C:

\frac{32.18}{100}\times 223.94 = 72.06 g

  • Mass of hydrogen, H:

\frac{4.5}{100}\times 223.94 = 10.08 g

  • Mass of chlorine, Cl:

\frac{63.32}{100}\times 223.94 = 141.79 g

Now, the number of each element in the unknown compound is determined by the formula:

number of moles = \frac{given mass}{molar mass}

  • Number of moles of C:

number of moles = \frac{72.06}{12} = 6.005 mole\simeq 6 mole

  • Number of moles of H:

number of moles = \frac{10.08}{1} = 10.08 mole\simeq 10 mole

  • Number of moles of Cl

number of moles = \frac{141.79}{35.5} = 3.99 mole\simeq 4 mole

Dividing each mole with the smallest number of mole, to determine the empirical formula:

C_{\frac{6}{4}}H_{\frac{10}{4}}Cl_{\frac{10}{4}}

C_{1.5}H_{2.5}Cl_{1}

Multiplying with 2 to convert the numbers in formula into a whole number:

So, the empirical formula is C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2}.

Empirical mass = 12\times 3+1\times 5+2\times 35.5 = 112 g/mol

In order to determine the molecular formula:

n = \frac{molar mass}{empirical mass}

n = \frac{223.94}{112} = 1.99 \simeq 2

So, the molecular formula is:

2\times C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2} =  C_{6}H_{10}Cl_{4}
