Education / Why Onions Make You Cry by Dioxidane: 9:12pm On Jun 13, 2015 |
For those of us who cook, most times we experience teary eyes when we cut an onion bulb. Have you ever wondered why this is so? Well, when an onion bulb is cut, it's cells are broken, thereby releasing their contents. Amino acids and sulfoxides form sulphenic acids. Enzymes that were kept separate in different layers now freely mix with the sulphenic acid to produce PROPANETHIOL S - OXIDE, a volatile sulphur compound that wafts upwards towards your eyes when the onion bulb is cut. The gas reacts with the water in your tears to form sulphuric acid. And as usual, sulphuric acid burns, which causes more tears to wash the irritation away. This same principle is applied in the production of tear gas. This phenomenon can be prevented by freezing the onions before cutting. It slows down the reaction and changes the chemistry of the onions. It can also be prevented by cutting the onions under water. Henceforth, onions shouldn't make you cry... Dioxidane 4 Likes |

timilehing: Kid, right? No offense taken... Obviously you are currently job hunting, so am I. If you are to widen your horizon, answer these questions. If you don't know the answers, you can always do research. 1. How many industries or firms in line with your field exists in Nigeria? 2. How many of them do you know their locations? 3. How many of them advertise their vacancies online? I'm sorry to say this, but just because someone mentioned online that he/she went for an interview doesn't mean you ask openly for the link or location of the company. If you were the one, I'm sure you wouldn't do that either... 2 Likes |

Try applying it in this situation. The security operatives were there to quell the tension and they did... No organization, well structured or not, would allow chaos in it's premises no matter the level of force they would have to use. This is what I experienced. I don't know about you... |
