Explain how adding soap to water affects the surface tension of water.

Chemistry
2 answers:
Yuri [45]1 year ago

Answer:

<em>The surface tension of water is high due to the dipole nature of water, meaning that the water molecules pull on each other by electrical charge. Soap and detergents interrupt this layer, reducing the surface tension.</em>

<em></em>

<em>A visual, though not scientifically accurate, would be a set of magnetic marbles that form a sheet. If you randomly stick in glass marbles the overall strength decreases since they are not all pulling together in order.</em>

<em></em>

<em>There are some substances, called super wetters, generally silicone surfactants that give a truly amazing drop in surface tension, where a small puddle of water can spread to many times it’s own size. These types of surfactants are used in laundry detergent and french fry oil to prevent foaming and in polymers to promote flow.</em>

Match each term with its definition.
padilas [110]

Answer:

The position of an equilibrium always shifts in such a direction as to relieve a stress applied to the system -Le Chåtelier's principle

A molecule that donates a proton when it encounters a proton acceptor.- Bronsted-Lowry acid

Occurs when a reaction involving an acid and its conjugate base is combined with a second reaction involving a base and its conjugate acid.- Neutralization

It ionizes completely when dissolved in water.- Strong acid

The shift in the position of equilibrium caused by the addition of a participating ion.- Common ion effect

It only partially ionizes when dissolved in water.- Weak electrolyte

It is capable of acting as either an acid or a base depending upon the solute- Amphoteric solvent

The act of self-ionization of a solvent to produce both a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.- Auto-protolysis

A chemical species that bears both positive and negative charges.- Zwitterion

Explanation:

In the answer box we have various chemical terminologies and their definitions. In answering the question, you must carefully read through each definition, then check what option best matches that definition from the options provided.

Each definition applies only to one terminology as you can see in the answer above.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because __________.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Present in both catabolic and anabolic pathways

Explanation:

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate abbreviated as G3P occurs as intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

In photosynthesis, it is produced by the light independent reaction and acts as carrier for returning ADP, phosphate ions Pi, and NADP+  to the light independent pathway. Photosynthesis is a anbolic pathway.

In glycolysis, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is produced by breakdown of fructose-1,6 -bisphosphate. Further Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate converted to pyruvate and pyruvate is further used in citric acid cycle for energy production. Therefore, it is used in catabolic pathway too.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because it is  present in both catabolic and anabolic pathways.
