It turns sugar into H2O and CO2. So I guess you could say it breaks down food to release energy.
I've actually used the magnet test to determine if a gold necklace of mine was real or not. If the gold item aka the crown is attracted to a magnet, it is definitely not real gold.if it isn't then its real gold.
Explanation:
Whenever we need to make a dilute solution of an acid then it is necessary to add water or non-acidic component into the acid first. This is because addition of water or non-acidic component directly into the acid could be highly exothermic in nature.
As a result, the acid can splutter and can cause burning of skin and other serious damage.
So, in order to avoid such type of damage the addition of water or non-acidic component into the acid actually helps to minimize the heat generated.
Thus, we can conclude that correct order of steps for making a more dilute solution of an acid is that either add all of the water or non-acid component first, or add a significant portion, before adding the acid to the mixture.
It has to do with the releasing of ethylene, which speeds up the ripening process
