Which property do metalloids share?

1 answer:

6 0

Metalloids share many similar properties including: They appear to be metal in appearance, but are brittle. They can generally form alloys with metals. Some metalloids such as silicon and germanium become electrical conductors under special conditions. Mark me brainliest please

Consider the following reaction where Kc = 154 at 298 K.2NO(g) + Br2(g) 2NOBr(g)A reaction mixture was found to contain 4.64×10-

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The reaction is not at equilibrium and reaction must run in forward direction.

Explanation:

At the given interval, concentration of NO = $\frac{4.64\times 10^{-2}}{1}M=4.64\times 10^{-2}M$

Concentration of $Br_{2}$ = $\frac{4.56\times 10^{-2}}{1}M=4.56\times 10^{-2}M$

Concentration of NOBr = $\frac{0.102}{1}M=0.102M$

Reaction quotient, $Q_{c}$ , for this reaction = $\frac{[NOBr]^{2}}{[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]}$

species inside third bracket represents concentrations at the given interval.

So, $Q_{c}=\frac{(0.102)^{2}}{(4.64\times 10^{-2})^{2}\times (4.56\times 10^{-2})}=106$

So, the reaction is not at equilibrium.

As $Q_{c}< K_{c}$ therefore reaction must run in forward direction to increase $Q_{c}$ and make it equal to $K_{c}$ .

What purpose does ammonia lauryl sulfate serve as a surfactor

Alborosie

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonium lauryl sulfate has the structural formula CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OSO₂O⁻ NH₄⁺.

The long nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and the ionic sulfate end group make it a surfactant.

The ionic end tends to dissolve in water, but the nonpolar chain does not. This makes the compound an excellent <em>foaming agent,</em> so it is used in many shampoos and toothpastes.

The molecules form <em>micelles</em> in water, small spherical shapes with the polar heads outside, facing the water, and the nonpolar tails are inside.

They reduce the surface tension or the water so that, when you brush your teeth or shampoo your hair, the air bubbles are stable and do not break.
