Why does onions burn your eyes?

2 answers:

8 0

All onions contain chemicals called amino acids. One of the chemicals in the onion's amino acids is sulfur. When the onion's skin is cut it brings this sulfur into contact with special proteins, called enzymes (EN-zimes). A gas then forms, which can make your eyes burn if it comes in contact with them

Onions produce the chemical irritant known as syn-propanethial-S-oxide. It stimulates the eyes' lachrymal glands so they release tears. Scientists used to blame the enzyme allinase for the instability of substances in a cut onion.

Therefore saying that it produces tears from tear ducts!! HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! :)

Plz answer thx How many moles are in 2.5 x 10^18 grams of water?

alex41 [277]

Answer:

$1.39\times 10^{17}$ moles of water in $2.5\times 10^{18} g$ of water.

Explanation:

Mass of water = $m = 2.5\times 10^{18} g$

Molar mass of water = M = 18 g/mol

Moles = n = $\frac{m}{M}$

$n=\frac{2.5\times 10^{18} g}{18 g/mol}=1.39\times 10^{17} moles$

So, there are $1.39\times 10^{17}$ moles of water in $2.5\times 10^{18} g$ of water.

4. How many moles are in 54.0 grams of Silver?

sineoko [7]

4. Molar mass of silver m Ms~=108 g/mol
Hence there are n=54*(1/108)=0.5 mols of Silver in 54 grams of Silver.

5. 6.3*(108/1)=680.4g

6. Avogadro's number : Na~=6.022×10^23. 
6.0*(6.022*10^23/1)=36.132*10^23 atoms

7. Molar mass of Krypton : Mk=84 g/mol
112/84=1.33 moles of Kr

8. 1.93*10^24*(1/(6.022×10^23))=3.2 moles KF

9. Molar mass of Silicon : Ms=28 g/mol
86.2*(1/28)*(6.022×10^23/1)=18.5*10^23 atoms of silicon

10. Molar mass of Magnesium : M1=24 g/mol
4.8*10^24*(1/(6.022×10^23))*(24/1)=191 g Mg
