Question text

This table reports the pH and sugar content of various fruits and vegetables. The pH and sugar values will vary by variety, rainfall, and other environmental factors: the values here are average values.

Fruits are generally more acidic then vegetables.

Fruits are generally less acidic then vegetables.

There is little difference between the acidity of fruits and vegetables.

An increase in sugar content is correlated to an increase in hydrogen ion concentration.

A decrease in sugar content is correlated to an increase in hydrogen ion concentration.

As the size of the of fruit or vegetable increases, the pH decreases.

A)    Although this is a limited sample, what conclusion can you draw on the apparent relationship between the pH of fruits and vegetables?

Fruits are generally more acidic then vegetables.

Fruits are generally less acidic then vegetables.

There is little difference between the acidity of fruits and vegetables.

B)    What hypothesis can you generate on the apparent relationship between pH and the sugar content of fruits and vegetables?

An increase in sugar content is correlated to an increase in hydrogen ion concentration.

A decrease in sugar content is correlated to an increase in hydrogen ion concentration.

As the size of the of fruit or vegetable increases, the pH decreases.

C)    What is the difference in the hydrogen ion concentration between pineapple and corn?                 Pineapples are more
