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).

Consider the following intermediate chemical equations.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

-250.3kJ

Explanation:

Based in the reactions and using -<em>Hess's law-</em>:

(1) P₄(s) + 6 Cl₂(g) → 4PCl₃(g) ΔH₁ = -4439kJ

(2) 4PCl₅(g) → P₄(s) + 10Cl₂  ΔH₂ = 3438kJ

The sum of (1) + (2) is:

4PCl₅(g) → 4PCl₃(g) + 4 Cl₂ ΔH = -4439kJ + 3438kJ = -1001kJ

Dividing this reaction in 4:

PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂ ΔH = -1001kJ / 4 = <em>-250.3kJ</em>

A student puts 0.020 mol of methyl methanoate into an empty and rigid 1.0 L vessel at 450 K. The pressure is measured to be 0.74
stellarik [79]

Explanation:

Starting moles of ethanol acid = 0.020 mol

At the equilibrium 50 % of the ethanol acid molecules reacted

∴ Moles of ethanol acid reacted = 0.020 mol * 50 %/100 %

                                                                   = 0.010 mol

Moles of ethanol acid remain = 0.020 mol + 0.010 mol = 0.010 mol

Moles of the product (CH3COOH)^{2} gas formed are calculated as

0.010 mol CH3COOH * 1 mol (CH3COOH)^{2} / 2 mol CH3COOH

= 0.005 mol (CH3COOH)^{2}

Therefore at the equilibrium total moles of gas present in the vessel are 0.010 mol CH3COOH and 0.005 mol (CH3COOH)^{2}

That is total gas moles at equilibrium = 0.010 mol + 0.005 mol = 0.015 mol

Now Calculate the pressure  :

0.020 mol gas has pressure of 0.74 atm therefore at the same condition what will be the pressure exerted by 0.015 mol gas

P1/n1 = P2/n2

P2 = P1*n2 / n1

      = 0.74 atm * 0.015 mol / 0.020 mol

     = 0.555 atm
