Why do apple, potato, and onion all taste the same if you eat them with your nose plugged

When bit into without the onion's outermost skin, apples and onions share an extremely similar crunch. ... The flavors of the apple neutralize the onions pungency. So there you have it, if you plug your nose, close your eyes and bite into an onion...it is indistinguishable from an apple... until your nostrils open again.

Explanation:

Apples, potatoes and onions will all taste the same if somehow you were to block your sense of smell (plug your nose).

Explanation:

answer: the enthalpy of the overall chemical reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

according to hess's law, the overall enthalpy of a reaction is the difference between the sum of enthalpy values of all the products and the sum of enthalpy values of all the reactants.

δh(reaction) = ∑nδh(products) - ∑nδh(reactants)

δh(reaction) = [δh +δh] - [δh]

δh(reaction) = [1(-287.02) + 1(0) ] - [1(-374.9)] kj = +87.88 kj

here, δh (pcl3) = -287.02 kj, δh(cl2) = 0, δh(pcl5) = -374.9 kj

therefore, enthalpy of the overall reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.
