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).

xxTIMURxx [149]

According to Charles' Law the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature in Kelvin keeping the pressure constant.

V∝ T, P  is constant  

where V, T and P are volume, temperature and pressure

\frac{V1}{T1 } = \frac{V2}{T2}

where V₁, T₁, V₂ and T₂ are initial volume, initial temperature, final volume and final temperature.

Pure ethylene glycol, , is added to 2.00 kg of water in the cooling system of a car. The vapor pressure of the water in the syst
spayn [35]

Answer:

1367.7 g of ethylene glycol was added to the solution

Explanation:

In order to find out the mass of glycol we added, we apply the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure: ΔP = P° . Xm

ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent (P°) - Vapor pressure of solution(P')

525.8 mmHg - 451 mmHg = 451 mmHg . Xm

74.8 mmHg / 451 mmHg = Xm → 0.166 (mole fraction of solute)

Xm = Mole fraction of solute / Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

We can determine the moles of solvent → 2000 g . 1  mol/18 g = 111.1 mol

(Notice we converted the 2kg of water to g)

0.166 = Moles of solute / Moles of solute + 111.1 moles of solvent

0.166 (Moles of solute + 111.1 moles of solvent) = Moles of solute

18.4 moles = Moles of solute - 0.166 moles of solute

18.4 = 0.834 moles of solute → Moles of solute = 18.4/0.834 = 22.06 moles

Let's convert the moles to mass → 62 g/mol . 22.06 mol = 1367.7 g
