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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anna007 [38]3 years ago
8 0

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

What creates an electric current in a battery?
kramer

Answer:

There's a separate chemical reaction happening at the positive electrode, where incoming electrons recombine with ions taken out of the electrolyte, so completing the circuit. The electrons and ions flow because of the chemical reactions happening inside the battery—usually two of them going on simultaneously.

Explanation:

option (B) is right

Why homoannular diene in uv spectrometry have higher wavlenth than hetroannular diene?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Homoanular dienes have a greater base value than heteroanular dienes

Explanation:

Woodward in 1945 gave a set of rules relating the wavelength of maximum absorption to the structure of a compound. These rules were modified by Fieser in 1959. These sets of rules describe the absorption of organic molecules in the UV region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Each system of diene or triene has a given fixed value at which maximum absorption is expected to occur according to Woodward rules. This given fixed value is called the base or parent value. If the two double bonds are trans to each other, the diene is said to be transoid. If the two double bonds belong to different rings, the system is said to be heteroanular and the base value in each case is 215nm. If the double bonds are cis to each other (cisoid), or the two double bonds are in the same ring (homoanular), then the base value is 253nm.

Since λmax = base value + ∑ substituent contributions + ∑ other contributions, if the other contributions are not very significant, homoanular diene will have a greater λmax because of its larger base value compared to heteroanular diene. This correlates well with the fact that conjugated systems absorb at a longer wavelength.

What mass of water is formed when 16g of hydrogen react with excess oxygen​
artcher [175]

Hello!

To start off, we must look at atomic masses. Atoms all have different weights, so we must first find hydrogen and oxygen's atomic masses.

Oxygen: 16.00 amu

Hydrogen: 1.01 amu

Now, moving on to the weight of water itself. Water has the formula of H20, with two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen. Therefore, <u>add up the amus to get the weight of one molecule of water.</u>

1.01 + 1.01 + 16.00 = 18.02 amu

Now, to see the ratio of each component. Since hydrogen weighs a total of 2.02 amu (1.01 + 1.01) in the entire atom, we can state that hydrogen makes up about 0.112 of the weight of water. Now apply that ratio to 16 g, and solve.

0.112x = 16

142.857143 = x

So therefore, about 143 grams of water are made when 16g of hydrogen reacts with excess oxygen.

Hope this helps!
