Kimchi is traditional Korean food made by fermenting cabbage or other vegetables in a mixture of spices and salt. Kimchi origina

lly developed as a method of preserving vegetables before the advent of modern refrigeration. Why does the use of a salt solution in Kimchi act as a preservative against bacterial decay?
A. Water passes out of the cabbage leaves into the salt solution, wilting the leaves.
B. Water passes out of the salt solution and into the bacteria, lysing the bacterial cells.
C. Water passes into the salt solution, dehydrating bacterial cells and making them harmless.
D. The salt solution used to preserve kimchi has a lower molality than that inside most bacteria.

Answer:

C. Water passes into the salt solution, dehydrating bacterial cells and making them harmless.

Explanation:

The salt solution is hypertonic to the bacterial cells and as such, water molecules will move from the bacterial cells into the salt solution, dehydrating the cells and rendering them harmless.

Option A is also true but it is irrelevant to the question asked. Option B and D are wrong.

The correct option is C.

HELP!! b. At the equivalence point, all of the acid has been neutralized by the base. Why does the pH change so
CaHeK987 [17]

At equivalence there is no more HA and no more NaOH, for this particular reaction. So that means we have a beaker of NaA and H2O. The H2O contributes 1 x 10-7 M hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion. But NaA is completely soluble because group 1 ion compounds are always soluble. So NaA breaks apart in water and it just so happens to be in water. So now NaA is broken up. The Na+ doesn't change the pH but the A- does change the pH. Remember that the A anion is from a weak acid. That means it will easily attract a hydrogen ion if one is available. What do you know? The A anion is in a beaker of H+ ions! So the A- will attract H+ and become HA. When this happens, it leaves OH-, creating a basic solution, as shown below.

Which is stronger - the attractive forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions, or the combined ionic bond str
Allisa [31]
Out of the two, the forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions is greater. This is proven by the fact that chromium chloride is slightly soluble in water, about 565 grams per liter.
In order for a substance to be soluble, the attraction of the ions to the water molecules must exceed the attraction between its own molecules and the water molecules.

What are the benefits and drawbacks to having a pouring temperature that is much higher than the metal’s melting temperature?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The main advantage would be that with the pouring temperature being much higher, there is very little chance that the metal will solidify in the mould while busy pouring. This will allow for moulds that are quite intricate to still be fully filled. The drawbacks, though, include an increased chance defects forming which relates to shrinkage (cold shots, shrinkage pores, etc). Another drawback includes entrained air being present, due to the viscosity of the metal being low because of the high pouring temperature.
