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

Why is there a threshold in response to some toxins?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Everything is deadly at a certain amount. Sometimes you accidently incest a small amount of something that's toxic, but it doesn't really do any harm because of how little it is. The body just gets rid of it during the its normal biological processes.

There's a certain amount of the toxin that you have to reach before the body begins to really feel it's effects and begin to get rid of it (vomiting, clamminess, all that jazz).

Of course it depends on the substance in question, some things are way more dangerous in much less amounts than others (e.g. ricin vs. poinsettia flowers).

Hope this helps!
