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.

you are given an unknown gaseous binary compound. when 10.0g of the compound isburned in excess oxygen, 16.3g of water is produc
Flauer [41]
Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16

Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.

If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8

The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.

The ion with 36 electrons, 34 protons, and 44 neutrons
Reil [10]
While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall

The activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is 95kJ/mol. The addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy to 55kJ/mo
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a) at 25°C the rate of reaction increases by a factor of 1,027*10^7

b) at 25°C the rate of reaction increases by a factor of 1,777*10^5

Explanation:

using the Arrhenius equation

k= ko*e^(-Ea/RT)

where

k= reaction rate

ko= collision factor

Ea= activation energy

R= ideal gas constant= 8.314 J/mol*K

T= absolute temperature

for the uncatalysed reaction

k1= ko*e^(-Ea1/RT)

for the catalysed reaction

k2= ko*e^(-Ea2/RT)

dividing both equations

k2/k1= e^(-(Ea2-Ea1)/RT)

a) at 25°C

k2/k1 = e^(-(55kJ/mol-95kJ/mol)/(8.314J/mol*K*298K)* (1000J/kJ ) ) = 1,027*10^7

therefore at 25°C , k2/k1 = 1,027*10^6

b) at 125°C

k2/k1 = e^(-(55kJ/mol-95kJ/mol)/(8.314J/mol*K*298K)* (1000J/kJ ) ) = 1,777*10^5

therefore at 125°C , k2/k1 = 1,777*10^5

Note:

when the catalysts is incorporated, the catalysed reaction and the uncatalysed one run in parallel and therefore the real reaction rate is

k real = k1 + k2 = k2 (1+k1/k2)

since k2>>k1 → 1+k1/k2 ≈ 1 and thus k real ≈ k2
