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
<u>Answer:</u> The pH of resulting solution is 8.7
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:
Molarity of TRIS acid solution = 0.1 M
Volume of solution = 50 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Molarity of TRIS base solution = 0.2 M
Volume of solution = 60 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Volume of solution = 50 + 60 = 110 mL = 0.11 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)
- To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Bsalt%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%29)
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{TRIS base}]}{[\text{TRIS acid}]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5B%5Ctext%7BTRIS%20base%7D%5D%7D%7B%5B%5Ctext%7BTRIS%20acid%7D%5D%7D%29)
We are given:
= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of TRIS acid = 8.3
![[\text{TRIS acid}]=\frac{0.005}{0.11}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7BTRIS%20acid%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.005%7D%7B0.11%7D)
![[\text{TRIS base}]=\frac{0.012}{0.11}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7BTRIS%20base%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.012%7D%7B0.11%7D)
pH = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the pH of resulting solution is 8.7
