There are several types of surfactants, to name two: alkylbenzene sulfonates  or detergents; and lauryl sulfate or foaming agents. 

Alkylbenzene sulfonates are commonly used in the production of detergent soaps, these help clean the dirt from cloths and other materials, it also produces foam. 

Lauryl sulfate or foaming agents are commonly used in the production of dishwashing liquid or handwashing soap.

If our eyes could see a slightly wider region of the electromagnetic spectrum, we would see a fifth line in the Balmer series em
erica [24]

Answer: Wavelength  associated with the fifth line is 397 nm

Explanation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

E= energy

For fifth line in the H atom spectrum in the balmer series will be from n= 2 to n=7.

Using Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )\times Z^2

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant =10973731.6m^{-1}

n_f = Higher energy level = 7

n_i= Lower energy level = 2 (Balmer series)

Putting the values, in above equation, we get

\frac{1}{\lambda}=10973731.6\times \left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{7^2} \right )\times 1^2

\frac{1}{\lambda}=2.52\times 10^{6}m

\lambda}=3.97\times 10^{-7}m=397 nm      1nm=10^{-9}m

Thus wavelength λ associated with the fifth line is 397 nm

If substances B and C are both in the gas phase and are at the same energy level, which of the two substances will need to have
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Substances can change phase—often because of a temperature change. At low temperatures, most substances are solid; as the temperature increases, they become liquid; at higher temperatures still, they become gaseous.

The process of a solid becoming a liquid is called melting. (an older term that you may see sometimes is fusion). The opposite process, a liquid becoming a solid, is called solidification. For any pure substance, the temperature at which melting occurs—known as the melting point—is a characteristic of that substance. It requires energy for a solid to melt into a liquid. Every pure substance has a certain amount of energy it needs to change from a solid to a liquid. This amount is called the enthalpy of fusion (or heat of fusion) of the substance, represented as ΔHfus. Some ΔHfus values are listed in Table 10.2 “Enthalpies of Fusion for Various Substances”; it is assumed that these values are for the melting point of the substance. Note that the unit of ΔHfus is kilojoules per mole, so we need to know the quantity of material to know how much energy is involved. The ΔHfus is always tabulated as a positive number. However, it can be used for both the melting and the solidification processes as long as you keep in mind that melting is always endothermic (so ΔH will be positive), while solidification is always exothermic (so ΔH will be negative).
