The question is incomplete. Here is hte complete question.

The components of poison ivy and poison oak that produce the characteristic itchy rash are cathecols substituted with long-chain alkyl groups. The image is attached.

If you were exposed to poison ivy, which of the treatments below would you apply to the affected area? Justify your choice.

(a) Wash the area with cold water.

(b) Wash the area with dilute vinegar or lemon juice.

(c) Wash the area with sopa and water.

(d) Wash the area with soap, water and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

Answer: (d) Wash the area with soap, water and baking soda.

Explanation: Alkyl is hydrophobic, which means it doesn't "mix" with water. To make it more soluble in water, soap helps to dissolve the chemical compound. As shown in the image, alkylcathecol is mildly alkaline. Baking soda is a salt that also helps dissolve it by ionizing with the -OH group, which makes it more soluble.

Although lemon juice and vinegar are acids, they are weak acids and so, won't have a strong effect on the alkylcathecol.

As said before, alkyl is hydrophobic, so plain water won't affect in any way the cathecol.

What are the reasons for unequal distribution of natural resources?
BARSIC [14]

Explanation:

There are so many reasons why natural resources are unevenly distributed in nature.

The major control on distribution of resource is basically the geologic setting of place.

Here are some of reasons:

  • Geological setting of place: most natural mineral resources are formed in areas where the best interaction between the ore forming processes and the environment occurs. No one can determine or control that.
  • Climate: the climate is the average weather condition of a place over an extended period of time. Different natural resources can be allocated to a place based on the dominant climatic condition in that place.
