  • surfactant, also called surface-active agent, substance such as a detergent that, when added to a liquid, reduces its surface tension, thereby increasing its spreading and wetting properties.
  • In the dyeing of textiles, surfactants help the dye penetrate the fabric evenly.
  • They are used to disperse aqueous suspensions of insoluble dyes and perfumes.

What is the wavelength of a photon with an energy of 3.50 x 10^-19 J ?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

λ = 5.68×10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of photon = 3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

Wavelength of photon = ?

Solution:

E = hc/λ

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

Now we will put the values in formula.

3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J =  6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js × 3×10⁸ m/s/ λ

λ =  6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js × 3×10⁸ m/s / 3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ =  19.89×10⁻²⁶ J.m / 3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 5.68×10⁻⁷ m

Substances that have a define size and shape and vibrating particles that are close together are​
Mazyrski [523]

Substances that have a define size and shape and vibrating particles that are close together are called Solid.

Explanation:

There are three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas.

Lets talk about solid state in detail.

In solid particles are closely packed and so they have very less or no space to move which results in vibrating particles. This results in solid substances having a fixed shape and volume.

The particles have very little space in between them, so it is not easy to compress solid.

There is no free space for particles to slide over each other, which does not allow solids to flow.

Also, particles in solid have a regular arrangement, they are not randomly packed.

In the experiment involving hydrated copper sulfate, overheating causes a high calculated percent value for water. why is the hi
Strike441 [17]
The answer to this question would be: Because the increase of temperature will increase volume.

Using PV=nRT formula we can see that temperature increase will cause an increase in volume. Overheating will cause the volume increase, then increasing the volume. If the percent value used is based on the volume, it will seem that the water is increased. But if the percent is using mass, there will be no increases.
That is why sometimes scientists using molality in a reaction with high temperature changes.
