How does lemon juice stop an apple from turning brown?

Chemistry

Lemon juice prevents browning because it is full of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and it has a low pH level. The oxygen will react with the ascorbic acid before it reacts with polyphenol oxidase (the enzyme in the fruit).

A pressure cooker contains 0.355 mole of air, which occupies a volume of 5.68 liters. The temperature inside the pressure cooker
sergejj [24]

Answer:

We will use ideal gas equation in this problem

PV = nRT

Where

P = pressure of gas or air = ?

V = volume of air = volume of pressure cooker = 5.68 L

T = temperature = 394 K

n = moles of air = 0.355

R = ideal gas equation = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

Putting values

Pressure = nRT / V = 0.355 X 0.0821 X 394 / 5.68 = 2.02 atm.

What is an ion? Describe and give an example.
Goshia [24]
An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. An example is Iron (III) , Iron (II) , lithium, and hydrogen.

Record your findings about sound and light waves for each of the following.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Sound waves travelling through the air: Sound waves travelling through air are just like longitudinal waves lacking compressions and rarefactions. The speed of sound waves in air is approximately 332 metres per second.

Light waves travelling through air: Light waves travel in air at a much faster rate than sound waves. Light waves can travel with a speed of 300 000 kilometres per second through air.

Sound waves traveling through metal: Sound waves travel about 17 times faster in metal as compared to air. The sound waves travel with an approximate speed of 5,960 meters per second in metals.

Light waves travelling through metal: The speed of light waves in a metal medium is usually at a net speed which is less than 3.00 x 108 m/s.

Light travels faster than sound waves because light waves are not pressure waves like the sound waves. They also do not require a medium as the sound waves.
