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).

A high pH value indicates _____.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

A high pH value indicates a high concentration of OH- ion

Explanation:

The higher the OH- ion concentration high will be the pH.In simple words if the concentration of OH- ions are increased then the pH of the solution will also increase which means the solution will turns towards basic with increasing its OH- ion concentration.

  Let us assume that the OH- concentration of a solution is  10-9  so the pOH of that solution will be 9 and the pH will be 5.

  Now the concentration of OH-ion of that solution is increased from 10-9 to 10-8 now the pOH of that solution is 8 and the pH is 6.

A lead mass is heated and placed in a foam cup calorimeter containing 40.0 mL of water at 17.0°C. The water reaches a temperatur
lbvjy [14]

Answer: 502 Joules

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 40.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{40.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 40.0mL)=40.0g

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by lead will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

q=m\times c\times \Delta T

q = heat absorbed by water

m = mass of water = 40.0 g

T_{final} = final temperature of water = 20.0°C

T_{initial = initial temperature of water = 17.0°C

c = specific heat of water= 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q=40.0\times 4.186\times (20.0-17.0)]

q=502J

Hence, the joules of heat were re-leased by the lead is 502
