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!

<h3>What is gamma radiation?</h3>

Gamma radiation (gamma rays) refers to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with the most energy and shortest wavelength. Astrophysicists define gamma radiation as any radiation with an energy above 100 keV. Physicists define gamma radiation as high-energy photons released by nuclear decay.

Using the broader definition of gamma radiation, gamma rays are released by sources including gamma decay, lightning, solar flares, matter-antimatter annihilation, the interaction between cosmic rays and matter, and many astronomical sources. Gamma radiation was discovered by Paul Villard in 1900.

Gamma radiation is used to study the universe, treat gemstones, scan containers, sterilize foods and equipment, diagnose medical conditions, and treat some forms of cancer.

65 g of hydrogen chloride (hcl) is dissolved in water to make 5.0 l of solution. what is the ph of the resulting hydrochloric ac
sashaice [31]
65 grams of HCl = 65/36.5 moles of HCl = 1.78 moles
1.78 moles of HCl dissolved to make a 5 litres of solution has a concentration of 1.78/5 = 0.36 mol/dm^3 (Note: 1 litre = 1 cubic decimetre)

In a strong acid, such as HCl, [H+] = [acid], so [H+] = 0.36

To calculate pH, we have to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of protons

So, -log(0.36) = 0.45

Which of the following represents the greatest number of atoms?
forsale [732]
The correct option is B. To get the number of atom for each compound, each element in the compound will be counted as an atom. For instance, for Fe[ClO4]2, there are 1 atom of Fe, 2 atoms of Cl, and 8 atoms of O, making a total of 11 atoms [1 + 2 + 8= 11]. The other options have less than 11 atoms.
