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).

What is the percent yield of a reaction in which 200. g of phosphorus trichloride reacts with excess water to form 91.0 g of hcl
Snowcat [4.5K]
Answer is: <span>yield of a reaction is 56,4%.
</span>Chemical reaction: PCl₃ + 3H₂O → 3HCl + H₃PO₃.
m(PCl₃) = 200 g.
m(HCl) = 91,0 g.
n(PCl₃) = m(PCl₃) ÷ M(PCl₃).
n(PCl₃) = 200 g ÷ 137,33 g/mol.
n(PCl₃) = 1,46 mol.
n(HCl) = m(HCl) ÷ M(HCl).
n(HCl) = 91 g ÷ 36,45 g/mol.
n(HCl) = 2,47 mol.
From reaction: n(PCl₃) : n(HCl) = 1 : 3.
n(HCl) = 1,46 mol · 3 = 4,38 mol.
Yield of reaction: 2,47 mol ÷ 4,38 mol · 100% = 56,4%.

When a soda can is dropped, it should not be immediately opened. Why?
Kipish [7]
<span>The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. </span><span>When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. </span><span>However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.</span>

select the equations that are correctly balanced. h2o 2o2? h2o2 fe2o3 3h2? 2fe 3h2o al 3br2? albr3 caco3? cao co2 can you clarif
natta225 [31]
<span>The choices are as follows:
h2o + 2o2 = h2o2
 fe2o3 + 3h2 = 2fe + 3h2o
al + 3br2 = albr3
caco3 = </span><span>cao + co2

The correct answers would be the second and the last option. The equations that are correctly balanced are:

</span> fe2o3 + 3h2 = 2fe + 3h2o 
caco3 = cao + co2

To balance, it should be that the number of atoms of each element in the reactant and the product side is equal.
