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.

A 50-mL beaker only has a scale that measures 10, 20, 30, and 40 mL. What is the uncertainty associated with the 50 mL beaker.

Juliette [100K]

If the uncertainty of a certain measurement instrument is not given, then it is assumed to be equal to half of the least count of that instrument. In this case, the least count is 10 ml, so half of this is 5 ml. Therefore, the graduated cylinder has an uncertainty of +/- 5 ml

During the titration of a weak acid and a strong base, you would expect the ph at the endpoint of titration to be ____.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer is: b. more than 7.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.

For example, basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.
