Answer:

Saponification is a process in which soap is formed from mixtures of  sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids. These fatty acids are reacted high temperature of At 80°C-100°C with alkali to extract salt. These alkali can be sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.

Soap has both polar (ionic) and non polar molecules due to which it has characteristics of both hydrophilic substance (having tendency to mix with water) and hydrophobic substance (have tendency to mix with oils) and due to this nature it can act as an emulsifier.

An emulsifier has tendency to diffuse one liquid into another   liquid which is incapable of mixing with homogeneous liquid like water.

Cleansing action takes place due to presence of ionic and non-polar properties at same time, in combination with solubility principles. The ionic end of soap molecule is the salt end. It is hydrophilic (water soluble) in nature. The non-polar end cotains long hydrocarbon chains and is hydrophobic (water repellent).

When immiscible liquids like grease or oil mixed with soap water, non polar end (hydrophobic end) absorbs the dirt which means the soap will form the micelles and trap the dirt in it. As micelles is soluble in water it will remove the dirt with it.

A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water. If the base is in the surface of water,
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Hydrostatic force = 41168 N

Explanation:

Complete question

A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water  so that the top is 4 ft below the surface. If the base is in the surface of water, find the force against onr side of the plate. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft3.)

Let "x" be the side length submerged in water.

Then

w(x)/base = (4+3-x)/altitude

w(x)/5 = (4+3-x)/3

w(x) = 5* (7-x)/3

Hydrostatic force = 62.5 integration of  x * 4 * (10-x)/3 with limits from 4 to 7

HF = integration of 40x - 4x^2/3

HF = 20x^2 - 4x^3/9 with limit 4 to 7

HF = (20*7^2 - 4*7^(3/9))- (20*4^2 - 4*4^(3/9))

HF = 658.69 N *62.5 = 41168 N

Given a 12-bit A/D converter operating over a voltage range from ????5 V to 5 V, how much does the input voltage have to change,
Doss [256]

Answer:

2.44 mV

Explanation:

This question has to be one of analog quantization size questions and as such, we use the formula

Q = (V₂ - V₁) / 2^n

Where

n = 12

V₂ = higher voltage, 5 V

V₁ = lower voltage, -5 V

Q = is the change in voltage were looking for

On applying the formula and substitutiting the values we have

Q = (5 - -5) / 2^12

Q = 10 / 4096

Q = 0.00244 V, or we say, 2.44 mV

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a. 6 seconds

b. 180 feet

Explanation:

Images attached to show working.

a. You have the position of the truck so you integrate twice. Use the formula and plug in the time t = 7 sec. Check out uniform acceleration. The time at which the truck's velocity is zero  is when it stops.

b. Determine the initial speed. Plug in the time calculated in the previous step. From this we can observe that the truck comes to a stop before the end of the ramp.
