Scientists prevent the nonpolar perfluorocarbons

in Oxygent from separating from the water by adding surfactant.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The  collection of oxygen from lungs and transporting it  all those tissues present in the human body and taking carbon dioxide back to lungs are the main functions of the hemoglobin. But, instead of this hemoglobin, When perfluorocarbons , a nonpolar chemical is used to perform the same function for the oxygen transportation, the nonpolar chemical may not mix well with the water when this perfluorocarbons is taken through a water-based saline .

For this purpose an addition of a chemical called surfactant is done. This will enhance the chemical bonding between the non polar chemical and water. The perfluorocarbons  spreads into some droplets and gets coated with this bonding substance. Thus it gets attached to the water.

Volgvan

<span>It is true that energy efficient dishwasher is a water and energy saver than washing dishes by hand. A star-rated dishwasher uses 4 gallons of water in each cycle compare to a kitchen faucets who pumps out 2.5 gallons of water per minute. To conserve water, the accumulated dishes and cookware must be stack properly in a dishwasher before running a cycle. As to conservation of energy, people tend to use warm water to wash the dishes by hand and heating of water cost much, while in a dishwasher, energy-saving tips such as running a light cycle and turning off heating drying option will mark down your energy consumption. Therefore, the use of dishwasher is a much greener idea. </span>

Write a chemical equation showing how this is an acid according to the Arrhenius definition. Express your answer as a balanced c
mylen [45]

Answer:

HC_2H_3O_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow H^+_{(aq)}+C_2H_3O_2^-_{(aq)}

Explanation:

Arrhenius theory:-

The Arrhenius theory was introduced introduced by Swedish scientist named Svante Arrhenius in 1887.

According to the theory, acids are the substances which dissociate in the aqueous medium to produce electrically charged atoms ( may be molecule). Out of these species furnished, one must be a proton or the hydrogen ion, H^+.

So,

The expression for acid, HC_2H_3O_2 is:-

HC_2H_3O_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow H^+_{(aq)}+C_2H_3O_2^-_{(aq)}
