Why is the solubility of khp in water greater than many fatty acids with six or more carbons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Georgia [21]4 years ago
3 0
Solubility of khp in water is greater than many fatty acids because khp is a polar substance while fatty acids are non-polar. Khp has positive and negative charges which help it to dissociate into ions when it dissolves in water. Fatty acids on the other hand contain long unbranched hydrocarbons with one end having a carboxylic acid group. This make water molecules to repel from them because no part of the fatty acid molecules have any charge.

How many moles of nh3 can he produced from the reaction of 38 g of n2
fiasKO [112]
N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

number of moles of N₂ = 38 g / 28 g/mol = 1.357 mol

1 mole of N₂ gives 2 moles of NH₃
1.357 mol of N₂ will give ?? mole NH₃

= 2 x 1.357 = 2.7 mol NH₃

Identify any solutes and solvents present in a mixture of 0.05 mol ethanol, 1 liter water, and 0.2 g hydrogen
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Water is the solvent

Both the ethanol and the hydrogen peroxide are the solute

Explanation:

Both the hydrogen peroxide and ethanol are sisobable in water.

There are 0.05 moles of ethanol.

1 litreof water contains 55.55 moles of water.

0.2 g of hydrogen peroxide contains 0.2/34 = 0.0059 moles of hydrogen peroxide (the 34 is the molar mass of hydrogen peroxide).

Since there are more moles of water, water becomes the solvent and the other two liquids dissolve in it.
