When an ionic is placed in water a dissolving reaction occurs so the positive or negative ion are only attracted to each other
Answer:
36290 min = 604.8 hr.
Explanation:
1 lbs = 453.59237 grams.
∴ 2 lbs = 907.18474 grams.
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
500 mg of iron oxide dissolved → 20 minutes.
907184.74 mg of iron oxide dissolved → ??? minutes.
<em>∴ The time needed to dissolve 2 lbs of iron oxide =</em> (907184.74 mg)(20 min)/(500 mg) = <em>36290 min = 604.8 hr.</em>
This is because their tails are hydrophobic and their heads are hydrophilic. Hydrophobic meaning dislikes being near water and hydrophilic meaning likes to be near water. Therefore, they will orientate themselves in such a manner that the heads are facing externally and all the tails are facing together protected by the hydrophilic heads. google a photo of lipid chains in water if you are still confused. I'm not sure if that is what you are asking, but I hope it helps.
