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

Chemistry

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

The balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below:
vichka [17]

Answer:

70mol

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as:

                  2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O

Given parameters:

Number of moles of acetylene = 35.0mol

Number of moles of oxygen in the tank = 84.0mol

Unknown:

Number of moles of CO₂ produced = 35.0mol

Solution:

From the information given about the reaction, we know that the reactant that limits this combustion process is acetylene. Oxygen is given in excess and we don't know the number of moles of this gas that was used up. We know for sure that all the moles of acetylene provided was used to furnish the burning procedure.

To determine the number of moles of CO₂ produced, we use the stoichiometric relationship between the known acetylene and the CO₂ produced from the balanced chemical equation:

From the equation:

         2 moles of acetylene produced 4 moles of CO₂

          ∴ 35.0 mol of acetylene would produced:  

                               \frac{35 x 4}{2} = 70mol

I need HELP!!!<br><br> Do the benefits of nuclear power outweigh the risks?
Georgia [21]
While there is no such thing as 100 percent safe, having nuclear energy is much safer than you think. It's thousands of times safer than conventional coal and other fossil-fuel-derived energy, not to mention the specter of environmental disaster from continued use of carbon-based energy sources.

The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway.
Nitella [24]

1) To find the change in enthalpy, determine the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants. (on this diagram, C-A) To find the activation energy, find the difference between the potential energy of the reactants and the "peak" of the curve (on this diagram, B-A). For this diagram, both the enthalpy and activation energy are positive.

2) If the reaction was exothermic, enthalpy would be negative, and the potential energy of the reactants would be greater than the potential energy of the products.

How is George Washington and Geoge Washington different
faltersainse [42]

If you are taking about George Washington and George Washington Carver then the difference is one was a president and army leader (George Washington) while the other George Washington Carver was an inventor and botanist that is very well known for his inventions with peanuts. If not one is spelled with an r (George) and the other without (Geoge).
