Answer:
i. Sobolo is a Ghanian drink that is produced from red hibiscus flower that has an average pH of 6.7
It contains cyanidin and anthocyanins, which is a red pigment that is red in an acidic medium and changes green when introduced in a basic medium that has a high pH
The pH at the rectum of the digestive system = 5 to 8 (Slightly basic)
Therefore, what made the stool of Akosua green is that the sobolo drink changes to green in basic solution
ii. The stool which appeared green because she took sobolo turn into bright red upon mixing with the acidic WC water because of the presence of anthocyanins in sobolo, it turns red in an acidic medium
iii. Sobolo which turns green, or blue in a basic medium and red in an acidic medium can be used as a litmus solution to test the pH of a given substance
Explanation:
Sobolo or soobolo in Ghana is a name for the Hibiscus tea or tisane, which is made from calyces of the hibiscus plant, and has a sour (tangy) taste and appears bright red in color
<h2>Step 1 : Identify the given </h2>
Volume = 250mL
Density = 1.19 g/ML
<h2>Step 2 . Calculate the mass of HCL </h2>
Density = mass/volume
∴Mass = Density * Volume
= 1.19g/mL* 250mL
= 297,5g
<h2>Step 3 : Calculate the total mass of the solution, given that concentration HCL is 38% </h2>
Mass of the total solution can be calculated by the following :
38% = Mc /297.5 * 100
Mc = 38/100 *297.5
= 113.05grams
• Finally, this means that mass of the total solution of 0.125M HCL i,s 113grams, ,you would use this mass to prepare 250 mL of 0.125 M HCl from concentrated HCl (aq) that is 38.0%
The question asks average kinetic energy. So it is only related with the temperature. The higher temperature is, the higher kinetic energy is. So the answer is (4).
