Answer:

Bacteria are unable to grow in acidic environment. Therefore, citric acid preserves the food from bacteria and longer the shelf life of the food.

Acids that are used to protect food:

Maleic acid , acetic acid (also known as vinegar ) , citric acid , tartaric acid , bezonzoic acid , Sorbic acid , potassium Sorbates , ascorbic acid and Formic acid are some of the acids that are used to preserve foods.

Hope it helps!

With your class, look up the element names for each symbol in the word "BOOK" and list the element names.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Explanation:

The word BOOK; is made up of 4 letters and each actually represents the symbol of an element.

An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split-up into simpler substances.

  B    -   Boron

  O    - Oxygen

  O   - Oxygen

  K   - Potassium

We can see that the word BOOK shows us elements boron, oxygen, oxygen and potassium.

Calculate the pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M dimethylamine, (CH3)2NH(aq), with 0.1000 M HCl(aq) after 21.23 mL
Evgesh-ka [11]

The pH value of the solution is mathematically given as

pH=2.35

<h3>What pH value of the solution?</h3>

Question Parameters:

pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M dimethylamine,

with 0.1000 M HCl(aq) after 21.23 mL of the acid

Generally, the equation for the  Chemical Reaction  is mathematically given as

(CH3)2NH(aq), +Hcl   ---> <---- (CH3)2NH2Cl(aq)

Therefore

HCl=\frac{0.186mol}{41.86}

HCL=0.00444M

WHere

HClaq--->H+(aq)+Cl-(aq)

Hence

H+=0.00444M

pH= -log{H+}

pH=log(0.00444)

pH=2.35

The alkane with six carbon atoms is called hexane. butane. butene. heptane. none of these choices is correct.
Mkey [24]

Option(A) is the correct answer.

The alkane with six carbons is called hexane.

<h3>What are the potential hazards of hexane?</h3>

Hexane is used as a special-purpose solvent, a cleaning agent, and to extract edible oils from seeds and vegetables. Humans who are acutely (short-term) inhaled high quantities of hexane have moderate central nervous system (CNS) symptoms such giddiness, nausea, headache, and dizziness. Humans who are exposed to hexane in the air <u>over an extended period of time</u> may develop polyneuropathy, which manifests as numbness in the extremities, muscle weakness, impaired vision, headaches, and tiredness. Rats have also displayed neurotoxic consequences. Hexane's potential to cause cancer in both humans and animals is unknown. Hexane has been categorized by the EPA as Group D, not classifiable as a human carcinogen.

Jaina just got home from a difficult workout. She is complaining of muscle soreness and cramps. Which waste product of fermentat
sveticcg [70]
<span>The answer is lactic acid/lactate. This is caused by anaerobic respiration in muscles especially during strenuous physical activity due to low oxygen supply to muscles in respect to the demand. When there is sufficient oxygen in the muscles, pyruvate is broken down aerobically in the Kreb’s cycle. However, it is converted to lactate in the anaerobic pathway. Lactic-acidosis occurs when lactic acid accumulates in tissues and slows down metabolic pathways</span>

Calculate the percentage by mass of the indicated element in the following compounds. Hydrogen in ascorbic acid, HC6H7O6, also k
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: The mass percent of hydrogen in ascorbic acid is 4.5 %

Explanation:

In C_6H_8O_6, there are 6 carbon atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.

To calculate the mass percent of element in a given compound, we use the formula:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{\text{Mass of hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of ascorbic acid}}\times 100

Mass of hydrogen = 8\times 1g/mol=8g

Molar Mass of ascorbic acid =6\times 12g/mol+8\times 1g/mol+6\times 16g/mol=176g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{8g}{176}\times 100=4.5\%

Hence, the mass percent of of hydrogen in ascorbic acid is 4.5 %.
