Answer:

alkali and hydrophiillc & hydrophobic molecules

Explanation:

Soaps are cleaning agents that are usually made by reacting alkali (e.g., sodium hydroxide) with naturally occurring fat or fatty acids. The reaction produces sodium salts of these fatty acids, which improve the cleaning process by making water better able to lift away greasy stains from skin, hair, clothes, and just about anything else

Soap breaks up the oil into smaller drops, which can mix with the water. It works because soap is made up of molecules with two very different ends. One end of soap molecules love water - they are hydrophilic. The other end of soap molecues hate water - they are hydrophobic.

Hydrophobic ends of soap molecule all attach to the oil. Hydrophilic ends stick out into the water. This causes a drop of oil to form:

These drops of oil are suspended in the water. This is how soap cleans your hands - it causes drops of grease and dirt to be pulled off your hands and suspended in water. These drops are washed away when you rinse your hands.

Hope this helps!

How do the two desalination processes differ from the atmospheric water generator in terms of where the processes can be used?
-Dominant- [34]

Water Desalination Processes. Water desalination processes separate dissolved salts and other minerals from water. Feedwater sources may include brackish, seawater, wells, surface (rivers and streams), wastewater, and industrial feed and process waters. Membrane separation requires driving forces including pressure (applied and vapor),...

What can we use to help us predict the results of reaction when we put metals into competition?
Effectus [21]

The activity series of metals as well as the electrode potential of metals can be used to compare the reactivity of metals.

<h3>What is used in comparing reactivity of metals?</h3>

The reactivity of metals can be compared using their electrode potentials which is a measures of the ability of the metal to donate electrons to another metal.

When comparing the reactivity of metals, the metal with the lesser negative electrode potential will be more reactive than another with a greater negative or positive electrode potential.

Therefore, the activity series of metals as well as the electrode potential of metals can be used to compare the reactivity of metals.

If the half life is 6.3 minutes how much of a 128.0 milligram sample will remain after 15 minutes​
zaharov [31]

Answer:

24.5

Explanation:

15/6.3 => 2.38 half lives passed.

.5^2.38 => 0.19198 decimal representation of the percentage that is left over after 2.38 half lives have passed.

0.19198 *128 = 24.5 mg of the material remaining.
