Why does onions burn your eyes?

Chemistry

eimsori [14]3 years ago

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! :)

Calculate the moles and grams of solute in each solution. D. 2.0 L of 0.30M Na2SO4. I already have A, B, and C. Thanks!
e-lub [12.9K]
Find the number of moles
C = n / V
C(Concentration) = 0.30 moles / L
V ( Volume) = 2 L
n = ??
n = C * V
n = 0.30 mol / L * 2 L
n = 0.60 mol


Find the molar mass
2Na = 23 * 2 = 46 grams
1S   = 32 * 1 = 32 grams
O4   = 16 * 4 = 64 grams
Total =            142 grams / mol

Find the mass
n = given mass / molar mass
n = 0.06 mol
molar Mass = 142 grams / mol
given mass = ???

given mass = molar mass * mols
given mass = 142 * 0.6
given mass = 85.2 grams. 

85.2 are in a 2 L solution that has a concentration of 0.6 mol/L
