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

The average bond energy (enthalpy) for a C=C double bond is 614 kJ/mol and that of a C−C single bond is 348 kJ/mol. Estimate the

AysviL [449]

Answer:

4.42x10⁻¹⁹ J/molecule

Explanation:

At a double bond, there's sigma and a pi bond, and at a single bond, there's only a sigma bond. Thus, if the energy to break both sigma and pi is 614 kJ/mol, and the energy to break only the sigma bond is 348 kJ/mol, the energy to break only the pi bond is:

E = 614 - 348 = 266 kJ/mol

Knowing that 1 kJ = 1000 J, E = 266,000 J/mol

By Avogadro's number, 1 mol = 6.02x10²³ molecules, thus:

E = 266,000 J/mol * 1mol/6.02x10²³ molecules

E = 4.42x10⁻¹⁹ J/molecule

A sample of natural rubber (200.0 g) is vulcanized, with the complete consumption of 4.8 g of sulfur. Natural rubber is a polyme

nasty-shy [4]

Answer: 1.3% many crosslinks as isoprene units,

Explanation:

Given:

mass pf natural rubber= 200.0g

mass of sulphur = 4.8g

molar mass of sulphur =32g/mol

molar mass of isoprene = C5H8=( 12x5) +(1x8)= 68g/mol

Solution: we first find no of moles present in each using

no of moles = $\frac{mass}{molarmass}$

Isoprene: 200.0g x [1mole / 68g] = 2.94moles.

Sulfur: 4.8g x [1mole / 32g] x [1 mole crosslinks / 4 moles S] = 0.0375 moles crosslinks.

to find % crosslinked units, we have

0.0375 / 2.94 = 1.3% as many crosslinks as isoprene units,
