Answer:

Na₂₆F₁₁

Explanation:

We find the moles of the substance assuming 100 g of the substance is present. Why do we take 100 g? Because then the percent of sodium/fluorine, would be the g of sodium/fluorine respectively:

74.186 g Sodium | 1 mol Sodium/23 g              =>       3.2255 mol Na    

25.814 g Fluorine | 1 mol Fluorine/19 g             =>       1.3586 mol F

Divide each by smallest number of moles:

3.2255/1.3586 = 2.37

1.3586/1.3586 = 1

Multiply by common number to get a smallest whole number:

2.37*11 = 26,

1*11 = 11

The empirical formula is Na₂₆F₁₁

Akosua has observed that anytime she drinks sobolo, her stool appears dark green. On one occasion
Anna007 [38]

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

CH4+O2—-CO2+H2O what is the best classification for the unbalanced equations reaction and why
yawa3891 [41]
I don’t know what you mean by classification exactly but it is a redox equation. The reactant side of carbon is losing hydrogen to form carbon dioxide. And oxygen is gaining hydrogen which gives you the water. Redox reactions are also known as combustion reactions.
