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.

Suppose a group of volunteers is planning to build a park near a local lake. The lake is known to contain low levels of arsenic
ale4655 [162]

A) 10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion .

B) 7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

C)It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

Explanation:

A) Mass of arsenic in lake water sample = 164.5 ng

The ppb is the amount of solute (in micrograms) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

\text{ppb}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^9

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of arsenic = 164.5 ng = 164.5\times 10^{-9} g

1 ng=10^{-9} g

Volume of the sample = V = 15.3 cm^3

Density of the lake water sample ,d= 1.00 g/cm^3

Mass of sample =  M = d\times V=1.0 g/cm^3\times 15.3 cm^3=15.3 g

ppb=\frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3 g}\times 10^9=10.75

10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion.

B)

Mass of arsenic in 1 cm^3  of lake water = \frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3}=1.075\times 10^{-8} g

Mass of arsenic in 0.710 km^3 lake water be m.

1 km^3=10^{15} cm^3

Mass of arsenic in 0.710\times 10^{15} cm^3 lake water :

m=0.710\times 10^{15}\times 1.075\times 10^{-8} g=7,633,660.130 g

1 g = 0.001 kg

7,633,660.130 g = 7,633,660.130 × 0.001 kg=7,633.660130 kg ≈ 7,633.66 kg

7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

C)

Company claims that it takes 2.74 days to remove 41.90 kilogram of arsenic from lake water.

Days required to remove 1 kilogram of arsenic from the lake water :

\frac{2.74}{41.90} days

Then days required to remove 7,633.66 kg of arsenic from the lake water :

=7,633.66\times \frac{2.74}{41.90} days=499.19 days

1 year = 365 days

499.19 days = \frac{499.19}{365} years = 1.367 years\approx 1.37 years

C)

Company claims that it takes 2.74 days to remove 41.90 kilogram of arsenic from lake water.

Days required to remove 1 kilogram of arsenic from the lake water :

\frac{2.74}{41.90} days

Then days required to remove 7,633.66 kg of arsenic from the lake water :

=7,633.66\times \frac{2.74}{41.90} days=499.19 days

1 year = 365 days

499.19 days = \frac{499.19}{365} years = 1.367 years\approx 1.37 years

It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

When 28 g of nitrogen and 6 g of hydrogen react, 34 g of ammonia are produced. if 100 g of nitrogen react with 6 g of hydrogen,
vampirchik [111]
N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3
When 100g of N2 , no of moles of N2= 100/(28)=3.57 mol
no. of moles of h2 = 6/(2)=3mol
Therefore h2 is limiting reagent.
no. of moles of ammonia= 3/3*2=2moles
mass of ammonia produced= 2 mol * (14+3)= 34g
