Answer:

Due to oxidation process apple gets brown color.

Explanation:

When we cut the apple it turn brown in color because of the oxidation process. The peel of apple protect it from the oxidation. When the apple is peel off the oxygen and water molecules in air react with it and oxidation take place. The oxidation process is very efficient in ambient temperature.

For example, if the peal off apple is placed into the refrigerator it take a time to got oxidize and turn brown, but if it is placed in room temperature it quickly turn brown.

when oxygen is react with peel off apple , it trigger the polyphenol oxidase enzyme to oxidize the phenolic compound and quinones are formed which then react with amino acids and produced brown color.

23.It is possible to dilute a solution by...Select one:a. adding more solute to the solution.b. adding more solvent to the solut
joja [24]

To dilute a solute in a solution, it is necessary to add a proper solvent for the reaction to occur, and adding more solvent will cause the solution to dilute even more, therefore the best answer will be letter B

An ion has 14 neutrons, 10 electrons, and a mass number of 27 what element
nasty-shy [4]

The ion is Al³⁺

mass number - number of neutrons= atomic number

27 - 14 = 13

Aluminum has an atomic number of 13, thus we know this is the metal in question. Also, because the aluminum has only 10 electrons, (3 less than a neutral atom of aluminum would have), its charge must be 3+

For each of the following circumstances, indicate whether the calculated molarity of NaOH would be lower, higher or unaffected.
irina [24]

Answer:

a)calculated molarity of NaOH would be lower

b) calculated molarity of NaOH would be lower

c) calculated molarity of NaOH would be lower

d) calculated molarity of NaOH would be unaffected

Explanation:

Let us recall that the reaction of NaOH and HCl is as follows;

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ----> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Since the reaction is 1:1, when the number of moles of HCl reacting with NaOH is low due to dilution, the calculated molarity of NaOH also becomes less than it's accurate value.

When 40mL of water is added to the titration flask rather than 25ml of water, the acid is more dilute hence less number of moles of acid than necessary reacts with the base thereby yielding a less than accurate value of the molarity of NaOH.

If the burette wet with water is not rinsed with NaOH solution, the concentration of the NaOH in the burette decreases due to dilution with water and a less than accuracy value is calculated for the molarity of NaOH.

If five drops of phenolphthalein is used instead of one or two drops, there is no qualms since enough phenolphthalein may be added to ensure that a sharp end point is obtained.
