Answer:

Esters present in them.

Explanation:

Esters are organic compounds which are considered to be derivative of carboxylic acids. They are formed from reaction of carboxylic acid with a corresponding alcohol.

The general formula of an ester is RCOOR'.

The fruits generally get their odors and taste due to present of these natural esters.

For example: An ester called Ethyl-2-methyl butyrate is a responsible for taste and odor of fruits like apple, orange, strawberry, etc.

The taste and odors in fruits are often the result of the ester components of the fruits. Esters are organic compounds produced from the reaction of alcohol and carboxylic acid. For example, bananas have esters called isomyl acetate, citrus fruits have octyl acetates familiar in oranges, lemon, tangerine, grapefruits, etc., and many others.

Calculate the ph of a solution prepared by dilution 3.0 ml of 2.5 m hcl to a final volume of 100 ml with h2o.

dexar [7]

The pH of the solution after dilution is 1.125.

HCl is hydrochloric acid. It is known by the name muriatic acid. It is among the strong acids. It has a pungent smell and is colorless. It has a molar mass of 36.4 g/mol. It's a common reagent used in pharmaceutical industries. It is also used in other industries such as textile, rubber, and metal.

The volume of HCl added to the solution = 3.0 ml

The molar concentration of HCl = 2.5 M

Let the molar concentration of the solution after dilution is x.

The volume of the diluted solution = 100 ml.

The molar concentration of the solution after dilution is,

$M _{1} V _{2} = M_{2} V _{2}$
