Answer:

Explanation:

When an apple is cut (or bruised), oxygen is introduced into the injured plant tissue. When oxygen is present in cells, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to o-quinones, colorless precursors to brown-colored secondary products

Answer:

The volume of a 0.200 M KCl solution containing 5.00 10-2 mol of solute is 0,25 L

Explanation:

Molarity (M) means: moles of solute which are contained in 1 L of solution.

In this case we have 0,2 moles which are in 1 L, so, as we have 5x10*-2 moles we have to apply a rule of three to find out the volume.

0,2 moles ........... 1 L

5x10*-2 moles ........... x

x= (5x10*-2 moles . 1 L) / 0,2 moles = 0.25L

(we can also say 250 mL)
