Answer:  Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Chemical formula of citric acid is C_{6}H_{8}O_{7}.

It is acidic in nature and therefore, it is used to add tartness or sour flavor to the food like jams, jellies, candies etc.

It is also used as a preservative and thus it helps to preserve various food items for a longer period of time.

Do atoms lend and borrow electrons from inner shells
zaharov [31]
False. They don't borrow electrons at all. They already have their respective electron affinities. This is called as electronegativity, and it's an occurence where it already has its own from its actual structure. It never borrows any electrons at all.

A sample of gas has a density of 0.53 g/L at 225 K and under a pressure of 108.8 kPa. Find the density of the gas at 345 K under
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

\rho _2=0.22g/L

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we are considering an gas, which can be considered as idea, we can write the ideal gas equation in order to write it in terms of density rather than moles and volume:

PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{m}{MM} RT\\\\P*MM=\frac{m}{V} RT\\\\P*MM=\rho RT

Whereas MM is the molar mass of the gas. Now, since we can identify the initial and final states, we can cancel out R and MM since they remain the same:

\frac{P_1*MM}{P_2*MM} =\frac{\rho _1RT_1}{\rho _2RT_2} \\\\\frac{P_1}{P_2} =\frac{\rho _1T_1}{\rho _2T_2}

It means we can compute the final density as shown below:

\rho _2=\frac{\rho _1T_1P_2}{P_1T_2}

Now, we plug in to obtain:

\rho _2=\frac{0.53g/L*225K*68.3kPa}{345K*108.8kPa}\\\\\rho _2=0.22g/L

Regards!
