Answer:

Fat

Alkali

Explanation:

Fat and alkali are the two primary raw materials needed to manufacture soap.

Sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is generally used as an alkali. The use of alkali depends on the intended application of the soap.

Raw animal fat was used in the past but these days, processed fat is used in the soap manufacturing process. Vegetable fats ( e.g, palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil) are also being used in soap manufacturing.

Additives are also used to enrich the color and texture of the soap.

Which of the answer choices best describes elements?

lianna [129]

It can be a compound or a single element. An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical or physical means. There are about 117 elements, butcarbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen are only a few that make up the largest portion of Earth.

The government, through the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), has set rules and guidelines for the use of radio equipment

Doss [256]

Answer:

Wavelength = 0.06024 m

Explanation:

Equation of energy of wavelength from Einstein's relativity equation is;

E = hc/λ

Where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J. s

c is speed of light = 3 × 10⁸

We are given E = 3.3 × 10^(-24) J

Making wavelength λ the subject, we have;

λ = hc/E

Thus;

(6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 3 × 10⁸)/(3.3 × 10^(-24)) = 6.024 × 10^(-2) = 0.06024 m

Wavelength = 0.06024 m

When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced. CaCO 3 ( s ) + 2

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: The mass of calcium chloride formed is 15.21 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For calcium carbonate:

Given mass of calcium carbonate = 32.0 g

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of calcium carbonate}=\frac{32.0g}{100g/mol}=0.32mol$

For hydrochloric acid:

Given mass of hydrochloric acid = 10.0 g

Molar mass of hydrochloric acid = 36.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hydrochloric acid}=\frac{10.0g}{36.5g/mol}=0.274mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$CaCO_3(s)+2HCl(aq.)\rightarrow CaCl_2(aq.)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hydrochloric acid reacts with 1 mole of calcium carbonate

So, 0.274 moles of hydrochloric acid will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.274=0.137mol$ of calcium carbonate

As, given amount of calcium carbonate is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hydrochloric acid is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hydrochloric acid produces 1 mole of calcium chloride.

So, 0.274 moles of hydrochloric acid will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.274=0.137moles$ of calcium chloride.

Now, calculating the mass of calcium chloride from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of calcium chloride = 111 g/mol

Moles of calcium chloride = 0.137 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.137mol=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium chloride}}{111g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of calcium chloride}=(0.137mol\times 111g/mol)=15.21g$

Hence, the mass of calcium chloride formed is 15.21 grams.

What are the conjugate acid-base pairs in the following chemical reaction? HBr(aq)+ CH3COOH(aq) ⇌ CH3C(OH)2+(aq) + Br-(aq)

agasfer [191]

Answer:

HBr, CH3C(OH)2 and CH3COOH, Br-

Explanation:

The conjugate acid-base pairs acid reacts with base to form a conjugate acid and conjugate base.

Conjugate acid is formed when a bases receives a proton (H+) and a conjugate base is formed when an acid losses a proton (H+).

From the given equation:

HBr, CH3C(OH)2 and CH3COOH, Br- are conjugate acid-base pair, where HBr is an acid and CH3C(OH)2 is a conjugate acid while CH3COOH and Br- is the conjugate base.
