Crazy boy [7]2 years ago

Silk and wool are more easily dyed with azo dyes than other fabrics like nylon or cotton because they are polypeptides.

Polypeptides or polymers made of amino acids are what makeup wool and silk. Natural protein fibers like wool and silk, synthetic polyamide fibers like nylon, and, to a lesser extent, acrylic fibers and blends of these fibers, are typically dyed with acid dyes. They are applied to these fibers from a dyebath under acidic or neutral conditions, thus their name. The azo group is the most widely used chromophore in acid dyes. When an ionic bond is formed between the protonated amine group of the fiber and the acid group of the dye, acid dyes that are anionic and soluble in water are applied to wool, silk, and nylon

How many atoms are there in 32.45 grams of Magnesium?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

8.13 ×10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of magnesium = 32.45 g

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 32.45 g/ 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.35 mol

Number of atoms:

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ atoms

1.35 mol × 6.022×10²³ atoms/ 1mol

8.13 ×10²³ atoms

Place the following compounds in order of increasing vapor pressure. rubbing alcohol
adelina 88 [10]

Vapor pressure is the pressure which is exerted by the vapors of a liquid in equilibrium with the liquid. Vapor pressure depends on the boiling point; lower the boiling point higher will be the vapor pressure.

Based on the given compounds:

rubbing alcohol is polar and has the strongest intermolecular force of attraction followed by relatively polar ether and finally the non-polar propane.

The increasing order of boiling point will be:

propane < diethyl ether < rubbing alcohol

Thus, the increasing order of vapor pressure will be:

rubbing alcohol < diethyl ether < propane
