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.

Predidt the direction and the relative value of the dipole moment of the following bond: C-Cl
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

D. C → Cl electronegativity difference > 0.5

Explanation:

The electro negativity of an atom in a compound refers to its ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.

On the Pauling's scale, carbon has an electro negativity value of 2.55 while that of chlorine is 3.16. The difference in electro negativity between the both atoms is about 0.61.

The dipole is aslways directed towards the more electronegative atom. Hence the direction is ; C → Cl

SnO2 + 2 H2 ——> Sn + 2 H2O
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

0.15g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules of water = 1.2 x 10²¹ molecules

Unknown:

Mass of SnO₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to work from the known to the unknown specie;

             SnO₂   +    2H₂    →   Sn  +   2H₂O

Ensure that the equation given is balanced;

       

Now,

          the known species is water;

                  6.02 x 10²³ molecules of water  = 1 mole

                   1.2 x 10²¹ molecules of water  = \frac{1.2 x 10^{21} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }    = 0.2 x 10⁻²moles

Number of moles of water  = 0.002moles

           From the balanced chemical equation:

         

             2 mole of water is produced from 1 mole of    SnO₂  

           0.002 moles of water will be produced from \frac{0.002}{2}  = 0.001moles

To find the mass;

           Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of  SnO₂ = 118.7 + 2(16) = 150.7g/mol

        Mass  =  0.001 x 150.7 = 0.15g

White phosphorus melts and then vaporizes at high temperatures. The gas effuses at a rate that is 0.404 times that of neon in th
Soloha48 [4]

White phosphorus melts and then vaporizes at high temperatures. The gas effuses at a rate that is 0.404 times that of neon in the same apparatus under the same conditions-There are 4 atoms of P in the molecule

Explanation:

Ar=30,97g/mol

R_{Px/R_Ne}=\sqrt{Mr(Ne)/Mr(Px)}=0,404

0,404=\sqrt{20,18/30,97*x}

0,404^{2}=20,18/30,97*x

X=20,18/30,97*0,163

X=4

There are 4 atoms of P in the molecule

what actually is left over of water once it self ionizes? Like what exactly are the hydrogen and hydroxide ions? Do they remain
GrogVix [38]
The formula for the self ionization of water is 2H₂O(l)⇄H₃O⁺(aq)+OH⁻(aq)

The hydronium (H₃O⁺) is usually just referred to as a hydrogen ion or a proton (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) doesn't have another name that I am aware of.  These ions do stay in solution.  However the concentrations are really small and the equilibrium constant (K(w)) is 1×10⁻¹⁴.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
