How does lemon juice stop an apple from turning brown?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sergejj [24]3 years ago

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).

Complete the following reaction.<br> 14N+ on →?C+1H<br> 18C<br> 14<br> 1 C<br> 18C
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: The complete reaction is as follows.

 ^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{14}_{6}C + ^{1}_{1}H

Explanation:

When nucleus of two or more atoms are bombarded together then it leads to the formation of new particles with new identity. This type of reaction are called nuclear reaction.

For example, ^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ?C + ^{1}_{1}H

Here, nitrogen atom when bombarded with a neutron then it is forming hydrogen and a carbon atom.

As total atomic mass on reactant side is (14 + 1) = 15

So, the atomic mass of carbon formed on product side is (15 - 1) = 14.

The number of protons holded by this carbon atom is (7 - 1) = 6.

Therefore, we can conclude that the complete reaction is as follows.

 ^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{14}_{6}C + ^{1}_{1}H

1. Analysis of an unknown substance formerly used in rocket fuel reveals a composition of 93.28% nitrogen and 6.72% hydrogen by
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The formula of the compound is:

N2H2

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question:

Nitrogen (N) = 93.28%

Hydrogen (H) = 6.72%

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula for the unknown compound. This is illustrated below:

N = 93.28%

H = 6.72%

Divide by their molar mass

N = 93.28 /14 = 6.663

H = 6.72 /1 = 6.7

Divide by the smallest

N = 6.663 / 6.663 = 1

H = 6.72 /6.663 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula is NH.

Now, we can obtain the formula of the compound as follow:

The formula of a compound is simply a multiple of the empirical formula.

[NH]n = 30.04

[14 + 1]n = 30.04

15n = 30.04

Divide both side by 15

n = 30.04/15

n = 2

Therefore, the formula of the compound is:

[NH]n => [NH]2 => N2H2

What is the iupac nomenclature of diethyl methane​
grin007 [14]

Answer:

In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a systematic method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). ... IUPAC names can sometimes be simpler than older names, as with ethanol, instead of ethyl alcohol.

A compound is 2% H, 32.7% S, and 65.3% O by mass. What is the subscript on the O in the empirical formula for this compound?
IceJOKER [234]
Since all of those percents add up to 100, you can just directly convert that to grams. So now you can use 2 grams H, 32.7 grams S, and 65.3 grams O. Use that info and convert that to moles for an answer of 2mol H, 1mol S, and 4mol O. In every empirical question you need to divide each quantity of moles by the lowest number. In this case, that number is one, so they stay the same, but it's important to remember that step. You're final chemical formula would be H2SO4 and the answer to your question would be that the subscript for oxygen is 4. Hope this helped!
