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

If the [H3O+] of a solution is 1x 10-8 mol/L the [OH-] is
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

<em>(H30+)= 1x10^-6 M</em>

Explanation:

Both pH and pOH have a relationship to belonging to the same aqueous solution: the expression of the Kwater (ionic product of the water Kw) is used:

1x 10-8 mol/L equals to1x10-8 M

(H3O+) x (OH-) = 1x10^-14

(H30+)x 1x 10^-8 =1x10^-14

(H30+)= 1x10^-14/1x 10^-8

<em>(H30+)= 1x10^-6 M</em>

What is the molarity of a NaCl stock used to make 750 ml of a dilute 10 mM solution if 5 ml of the concentrated solution was use
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

          M_{1} = 10 mM = 10 \times 10^{-3} M

          V_{1} = 750 ml,           V_{2} = 5 ml

          M_{2} = ?

Therefore, calculate the molarity of given NaCl stock as follows.

                  M_{1} \times V_{1} = M_{2} \times V_{2}

                  10 \times 10^{-3} \times 750 ml = M_{2} \times 5 ml

                   M_{2} = 1.5 M

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of given NaCl stock is 1.5 M.

A person walking covers 5.20 m in 10.4 s. How fast is the person moving?
salantis [7]

Answer:

<h2>0.50 m/s</h2><h2></h2>

Explanation:

Velocity = distance over time

where distance = 5.20 m

                   time = 10.4 s.

velocity = <u>  5.20  m </u>

                  10.4 s.

            = 0.50 m/s
