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! :)

Explain how acid–base indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a substance.
mezya [45]
PH stands for potential hydrogen.
pH can be accurately tested using acid-based indicators since it is a part of the pH of something itself. (acid and bases) The indicators themselves work when the acidic properties of the indicator begins to dissolve and form ions which gives the color indicating the pH.

List a few of the physical properties of buckyball
stepladder [879]

Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.

The physical properties are:

Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.

The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.

The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.

Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.
