Which example best describes a reflex action?

Akosua has observed that anytime she drinks sobolo, her stool appears dark green. On one occasion

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

i. Sobolo is a Ghanian drink that is produced from red hibiscus flower that has an average pH of 6.7

It contains cyanidin and anthocyanins, which is a red pigment that is red in an acidic medium and changes green when introduced in a basic medium that has a high pH

The pH at the rectum of the digestive system = 5 to 8 (Slightly basic)

Therefore, what made the stool of Akosua green is that the sobolo drink changes to green in basic solution

ii. The stool which appeared green because she took sobolo turn into bright red upon mixing with the acidic WC water because of the presence of anthocyanins in sobolo, it turns red in an acidic medium

iii. Sobolo which turns green, or blue in a basic medium and red in an acidic medium can be used as a litmus solution to test the pH of a given substance

Explanation:

Sobolo or soobolo in Ghana is a name for the Hibiscus tea or tisane, which is made from calyces of the hibiscus plant, and has a sour (tangy) taste and appears bright red in color

A 51.24-g sample of Ba(OH)2 is dissolved in enough water to make 1.20 liters of solution. How many mL of this solution must be d

g100num [7]

Answer:

0.40 L

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of $Ba(OH)_2$ as:-

Mass = 51.24 g

Molar mass of $Ba(OH)_2$ = 171.34 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{51.24\ g}{171.34\ g/mol}$

$Moles= 0.2991\ mol$

Volume = 1.20 L

The expression for the molarity is:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Molarity=\frac{0.2991\ mol}{1.20\ L}=0.24925\ M$

Thus,

Considering

$Molarity_{working\ solution}\times Volume_{working\ solution}=Molarity_{stock\ solution}\times Volume_{stock\ solution}$

Given that:

$Molarity_{working\ solution}=0.100\ M$

$Volume_{working\ solution}=1\ L$

$Volume_{stock\ solution}=?$

$Molarity_{stock\ solution}=0.24925\ M$

So,

$0.100\ M\times 1\ L=0.24925\ M\times Volume_{stock\ solution}$

$Volume_{stock\ solution}=\frac{0.100\times 1}{0.24925}\ L=0.40\ L$

The volume of 0.24925M stock solution added = 0.40 L

Consider the reaction NOBr(g) => NO(g) + 1/2 Br2(g). A plot of 1/[NOBr] vs time give a straight line with a slope of 2.00 M-1

timama [110]

Answer:

Thus, the order of the reaction is 2.

The rate constant of the graph which is :- 2.00 M⁻¹s⁻¹

Explanation:

The kinetics of a reaction can be known graphically by plotting the concentration vs time experimental data on a sheet of graph.

The concentration vs time graph of zero order reactions is linear with negative slope.

The concentration vs time graph for a first order reactions is a exponential curve. For first order kinetics the graph between the natural logarithm of the concentration vs time comes out to be a straight graph with negative slope.

The concentration vs time graph for a second order reaction is a hyberbolic curve. Also, for second order kinetics the graph between the reciprocal of the concentration vs time comes out to be a straight graph with positive slope.

Considering the question,

A plot of 1/[NOBr] vs time give a straight line with a slope of 2.00 M⁻¹s⁻¹.

Thus, the order of the reaction is 2.

Also, slope is the rate constant of the graph which is :- 2.00 M⁻¹s⁻¹
