Apples turn brown when exposed to air because it undergoes aerial oxidation. Due to this, when the inside of the apple is exposed to the air containing oxygen and water, it turns brown. When apple is uncut, skin of the apple protects it from this process.
If the peeled apple in kept in the refrigerator, the oxidation reaction is greatly slowed down. This is because, rate of chemical reaction decreases with temperature. Hence, in refrigerator it would take several days for it to turn brown.
Answer:
∆H > 0
∆Srxn <0
∆G >0
∆Suniverse <0
Explanation:
We are informed that the reaction is endothermic. An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed hence ∆H is positive at all temperatures.
Similarly, absorption of energy leads to a decrease in entropy of the reaction system. Hence the change in entropy of the reaction ∆Sreaction is negative at all temperatures.
The change in free energy for the reaction is positive at all temperatures since ∆S reaction is negative then from ∆G= ∆H - T∆S, we see that given the positive value of ∆H, ∆G must always return a positive value at all temperatures.
Since entropy of the surrounding= - ∆H/T, given that ∆H is positive, ∆S surrounding will be negative at all temperatures. This is so because an endothermic reaction causes the surrounding to cool down.
Potassium hypochlorite when dissolved in water would dissociate into ions namely the potassium ions and the hypochlorite ions. Furthermore, hypochlorite ions would interact with water molecules and would decompose further. The dissociation reactions are as follows:
KClO <=> K+ + ClO-
ClO- + H2O <=> HOCl + OH-
Adding the two reactions, would give
KClO + ClO- + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH- + ClO-
The two ClO- ions in both sides would cancel giving us the net ionic equation:
KClO + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH-
Answer:
B) K⁺, Sr²⁺ , O²⁻
Explanation:
Potassium is present in group one. It is alkali metal and have one valance electron.Potassium need to lose its one valance electron and form cation to get complete octet.
That's why it shows K⁺.
Sr is alkaline earth metal. It is present in group two. It has two valance electrons. Strontium needed to lose its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.
When it loses its two valance electrons it shows cation with charge of +2.
Sr²⁺
Oxygen is present in group 16. It has sex valance electrons. It needed two more electrons to complete the octet. That's why oxygen gain two electron and form anion with a charge of -2.
O²⁻
