Answer: <span>C) Soap is a surfactant that disrupts the intermolecular forces of water making the paperclip sink.</span>

Explanation:

1) This is the set of choices that comes with this question:
<span>A) Soap is a surfactant that increases the intermolecular forces of water allowing the paperclip to continue to float.</span>

<span>B) Soap makes the water less viscous making the paperclip sink.</span>

<span>C) Soap is a surfactant that disrupts the intermolecular forces of water making the paperclip sink.</span>

<span> D) Soap makes the water more viscous allowing the paperclip to continue to float. </span>

2) Justification:

The paperclip is denser that water, so it should sink into the water. Then, why is the paperclip floating?


The papeclip is floating due to the high surface tension of the water.

The surface tension is the force that tends to keep the molecules of a liquid together resisting the spread due to other forces (gravity for example). The surface tension is what makes that a drop of water over a table keeps round and like a hemisphere instead of spreading along all the surface of the table.

That very same force makes it possible that some insects can stand over water and is the responsible for the meniscus that you see in the thin tubes that contain water (e.g. in the test tubes in your chemistry lab).

By the way, that strong intermolecular forces that keep the molecules of water attracted to each other is due the hydrogen bonds.


The soap is a surfactant which reduces the surface tension of the water, this is it disrupts the intermolecular forces of water, and that is what the option C) tells.

Answer:

Soap is a surfactant that disrupts the intermolecular forces of water making the paperclip sink.

Explanation:

Soap is a surfactant, so it will disrupt the surface and make the paperclip fall through.

What is the solubility in moles/liter for silver chloride at 25 oC given a Ksp value of 1.6 x 10-10. Write using scientific nota
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

AgCl      ⇄       Ag⁺       +       Cl⁻

m                       m                   m

If x mole of AgCl be dissolved in one litre .

[ Ag⁺ ] [ Cl⁻ ] = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m² =  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m = 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles

So solubility of AgCl is 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles / L

g Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each are ____________ . The cis and trans isomers of a particular compound are ___
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Diasteriomers

Stereoisomers

Stereoisomers

Meso compounds

Constitutional isomers

Enantiomers

Enantiomers

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds that posses the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Constitutional isomers differ only in atom to atom connectivity while stereoisomers differ in arrangement of atoms in space. Stereo isomers differ in physical and chemical properties of the compounds.

When stereo isomers are non-superimpossible mirror images of each other, they are called enantiomers. Enantiomers have the same chemical and physical properties and differ only in their reaction with chiral substances.

Achiral compounds are compounds that do not exhibit chirality. Some achiral compounds contain stereogenic centers and are called meso compounds.

A Rolaids tablet contains calcium for neutralizing stomach acid. if a Rolaids tablet neutralizes 24.65ml of 0.547m hydrochloric
Lelu [443]

There are 674 mg of calcium carbonate in a Rolaids tablet

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

CaCO₃ + 2HCl ⇒ CaCl₂ + CO₂ +H₂O

V HCl = 24.65 ml

M HCl = 0.547

mol HCl :

\tt 24.65\times 0.547=13.48~mlmol

ratio mol CaCO₃ : HCl = 1 : 2, so mol CaCO₃ :

\tt \dfrac{1}{2}\times 13.48=6.74~mlmol=6.74\times 10^{-3}~mol

mass of CaCO₃ (MW=100~g/mol) :

\tt 6.74\times 10^{-3}\times 100=0.674~g=674~mg

Consider the aldol-dehydration reaction. Draw the two possible products of the reaction between benzaldehyde and methylethylketo
Dafna1 [17]

Solution :

An $\text{aldol condensation}$ reaction is a type of \text{condensation reaction} in organic chemistry where the enol or an enolate ion reacts with the carbonyl compound and forms a $\beta$-hydroxyaldehyde or a $\beta$-hydroxyketone, and then followed by a dehydration to give conjugated enone.  

Benzaldehyde reacts with methylketone and forms two products:
