Describe the properties of ammonium lauryl sulfate that make it a feasible surfactant

Chemistry
1 answer:
Basile [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Acidic inorganic salts, such as AMMONIUM LAURYL SULFATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

One of the main components of an airbag is the gas that fills it. As part of the design process, you need to determine the exact amount of nitrogen that should be produced. Calculate the number of moles of nitrogen required to fill the airbag. Show your work. Assume that the nitrogen produced by the chemical reaction is at a temperature of 495°C and that nitrogen gas behaves like an ideal gas. Use this fact sheet to review the ideal gas law.

Are pure substances chemically combined​
dmitriy555 [2]

Pure substances can or can not be chemically combined.

Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, but not mixture. Mixture are different substances mixing together without being chemically combined, such as air, which is a mixture of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water etc. Mixture can be separated by physical methods, like filtration or decantation.

Meanwhile, elements are the substances that cannot be further separated by any means. No matter physical or chemical methods. Examples of elements are oxygen, hydrogen, neon and all the other ones from the periodic table. Compounds are basically elements joining together, but they’re chemically combined which means their electrons (kind of subatomic particle) are either shared or given away. These elements can only be separated by chemical methods like electrolysis or heating.

Therefore, as long as the substance cannot be separated by physical methods, it can be considered as a pure substance. We can now conclude that pure substance can be (element) or can not be (compound) chemically combined.

A weak monoprotic acid is titrated with 0.100 MNaOH. It requires 50.0 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point. Af
larisa86 [58]

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

        HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Hence, number of moles of NaOH are as follows.

        n = 0.05 L \times 0.1 M

           = 0.005 mol

After the addition of 25 ml of base, the pH of a solution is 3.62. Hence, moles of NaOH is 25 ml base are as follows.

             n = 0.025 L \times 0.1 M

                = 0.0025 mol

According to ICE table,

         HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Initial:     0.005 mol   0.0025 mol              0                  0

Change: -0.0025 mol  -0.0025 mol        +0.0025 mol

Equibm:   0.0025 mol    0                         0.0025 mol

Hence, concentrations of HA and NaA are calculated as follows.

          [HA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

        [NaA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

       [A^{-}] = [NaA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

Now, we will calculate the pK_{a} value as follows.

          pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{A^{-}}{HA}

       pK_{a} = pH - log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

                  = 3.42 - log \frac{\frac{0.0025 mol}{V}}{\frac{0.0025}{V}}

                  = 3.42

Thus, we can conclude that pK_{a} of the weak acid is 3.42.

Contrast aluminum and nitrogen. Show why aluminum is a metal and nitrogen is not.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Nitrogen: Non- metal = they are poor conductors of heat and electricity, they are brittle solids, not ductile in their solid state - they cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets. They are usually dull and therefore show no metallic luster and they do not reflect light. They also have a low density.

Aluminium: Metal= Offers a rare combination of valuable properties. It is one of the lightest metals in the world: it's almost three times lighter than iron but it's also very strong, extremely flexible and corrosion resistant because its surface is always covered in an extremely thin and yet very strong layer of oxide film. It doesn't magnetise, it's a great electricity conductor and forms alloys with practically all other metals.
