__________ ammonium compounds are less effective against gram-negative bacteria and more effective against gram-positive bacteri
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Quartenary.

Explanation:

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are cationic salts of organically substituted ammonium compounds and have a broad range of activity against microorganisms, i.e more effective against Gram-positive bacterium at lower concentrations than Gram-negative bacteria.

It was also reported previously that monoalkyl QACs bind by ionic and hydrophobic interactions to microbial membrane surfaces, with the cationic head group facing outwards and the hydrophobic tails inserted into the lipid bilayer, causing the rearrangement of the membrane and the subsequent leakage of intracellular constituents.

Briefly describe the action of hardwater with soap​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - hard water reacts to form the calcium or magnesium salt of the organic acid of the soap.

Explanation:

Soaps are made up of fatty acids or oils by treating with strong alkali and are salts of sodium and potassium. Hard water, on the other hand, has a high concentration of minerals in comparison to soft water. When hard water and soap are mixed together the salts of the minerals like Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions present in hard water react with fatty acids of the soap.

The sodium salts are changed to the salts of calcium and magnesium which are precipitated to an insoluble substance. The insoluble salts of the calcium or magnesium dirt stick on the clothes thus cleaning ability of soap is reduced.

Aluminum metal and manganese (IV) oxide react to produce aluminum oxide and manganese metal. What mass of manganese (IV) oxide r
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

4Al+3MnO_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3+3Mn

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of manganese = \frac{1.12\times 1000g}{55g/mol}=20.4mol

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of Mn is produced by = 3 moles of MnO_2

Thus 20.4 moles of Mn is produced by =\frac{3}{3}\times 20.4=20.4moles  of MnO_2

Mass of MnO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=20.4moles\times 86.9g/mol=1773g=1.773kg    (1kg=1000g)

Thus 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.
