What purpose does ammonia lauryl sulfate serve as a surfactor

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alborosie3 years ago
8 0

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.

A compound is found to be 30.45% n and 69.55 % o by mass. if 1.63 g of this compound occupy 389 ml at 0.00°c and 775 mm hg, what
Charra [1.4K]
1) mass composition

N: 30.45%
O: 69.55%
   -----------
   100.00%

2) molar composition

Divide each element by its atomic mass

N: 30.45 / 14.00 = 2.175 mol

O: 69.55 / 16.00 = 4.346875

4) Find the smallest molar proportion

Divide both by the smaller number

N: 2.175 / 2.175 = 1

O: 4.346875 / 2.175 = 1.999 = 2

5) Empirical formula: NO2

6) mass of the empirical formula

14.00 + 2 * 16.00 = 46.00 g

7) Find the number of moles of the gas using the equation pV = nRT

=> n = pV / RT = (775/760) atm * 0.389 l / (0.0821 atm*l /K*mol * 273.15K)

=> n = 0.01769 moles

8) Find molar mass

molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles = 1.63 g / 0.01769 mol = 92.14 g / mol

9) Find how many times the mass of the empirical formula is contained in the molar mass

92.14 / 46.00 = 2.00

10) Multiply the subscripts of the empirical formula by the number found in the previous step

=> N2O4

Answer: N2O4

The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44 grams/moles. How many grams of NaCl are found in a beaket with 100 ml of a 0.0050 M soluti
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The mass of NaCl is 0.029 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molecular weight of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Volume of solution = 100 mL = 0.100 L

Molarity = 0.0050 M

Step 2: Calculate moles NaCl

Moles NaCl = molarity * volume

Moles NaCl = 0.0050 M * 0.100 L

Moles NaCl = 0.00050 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass NaCl

Mass NaCl = moles NaCl * molar mass NaCl

Mass NaCl = 0.00050 moles * 58.44 g/mol

Mass NaCl = 0.029 grams

The mass of NaCl is 0.029 grams

When did oxygen first appear in earth's atmosphere??
ad-work [718]
<span> the atmosphere holds about 21 per cent oxygen. Over the Earth’s 4.6 billion year history, oxygen did not appear in the atmosphere until perhaps about 2.5 billion years ago. Since then, oxygen levels have fluctuated in tandem with global geological and biological events, such as mass extinctions.</span>

A pharmaceutical company wants to test the efficiency of its new drug production techniques so they run 3 shifts of production f
spayn [35]

The percentage yield of the  new production technique is 82.8%

<h3>What is the percentage yield?</h3>

Production is the procedure by which finished products are obtained form the raw materials. The production process involves the passing of raw materials through a certain procedure that involves the use of certain machines and equipment to give us the required products.

We are told in the question that there are three shifts;

Shift 1 produces 4562 grams

Shift 2 produces 5783 grams

Shift 3 produces 5247 grams

Average production from the three shifts = 4562 grams + 5783 grams +  5247 grams/3 = 5197 grams

The theoretical average yield is =  7000 grams + 7000 grams + 7000 grams/3 = 7000 grams

Now the percentage yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield * 100/1

percentage yield = 5197 grams/7000 grams * 100/1

percentage yield = 82.8%
