Answer:

The melting and boiling points of molecular compounds are generally quite low compared to those of ionic compounds. This is because the energy required to disrupt the intermolecular forces between molecules is far less than the energy required to break the ionic bonds in a crystalline ionic compound

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

If you feed 100 kg of N2 gas and 100 kg of H2 gas into a

torisob [31]

Answer : The mass of ammonia produced can be, 121.429 k

Solution : Given,

Mass of $N_2$ = 100 kg = 100000 g

Mass of $H_2$ = 100 kg = 100000 g

Molar mass of $N_2$ = 28 g/mole

Molar mass of $H_2$ = 2 g/mole

Molar mass of $NH_3$ = 17 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $N_2$ and $H_2$ .

$\text{ Moles of }N_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }N_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }N_2}=\frac{100000g}{28g/mole}=3571.43moles$

$\text{ Moles of }H_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }H_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }H_2}=\frac{100000g}{2g/mole}=50000moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $N_2$ react with 3 mole of $H_2$

So, 3571.43 moles of $N_2$ react with $3571.43\times 3=10714.29$ moles of $H_2$

From this we conclude that, $H_2$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $N_2$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NH_3$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $N_2$ react to give 2 mole of $NH_3$

So, 3571.43 moles of $N_2$ react to give $3571.43\times 2=7142.86$ moles of $NH_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NH_3$

$\text{ Mass of }NH_3=\text{ Moles of }NH_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }NH_3$

$\text{ Mass of }NH_3=(7142.86moles)\times (17g/mole)=121428.62g=121.429kg$

Therefore, the mass of ammonia produced can be, 121.429 kg
