In the soap testing experiment, what is the purpose of adding some MgCl2 to the soap solution at the end?

Chemistry

lakkis [162]3 years ago

Explanation:

The water is hard due to the presence of ions of Mg²⁺. Now in hard water soaps are ineffective . Since in hard water Mg²⁺ ion forms precipitate , which concludes less number of soap molecules are present in the solution and less amount of  froth  which disables the cleansing property of the soap .

Now the experiment , the very last step is the hard water test where some amount of MgCl₂ is added ,

Now this magnesium salt act as a source of Mg²⁺ ion and now the soap action can be determined , whether it is able to form froth or not .

Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar?
laiz [17]
<span>This is not the case in the hydrocarbon tail. The electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon are very similar, so the electron cloud is distributed evenly over the two atoms. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are said to be non-polar because they do not have positive and negative poles within themselves. Hope this helps. </span>

Calculate the ph of a 0.20 m solution of iodic acid (hio3, ka = 0.17).
saveliy_v [14]
Iodic acid partially dissociates into H+ and IO3- 
Assuming that x is the concentration of H+ at equilibrium, and sine the equation says the same amount of IO3- will  be released as that of H+, its concentration is also X.  The formation of H+ and IO3- results from the loss of HIO3 so its concentration at equilibrium is 0.20 M - x
Ka = [H+] [IO3-] / [HIO3]; 
<span>Initially, [H+] ≈ [IO3-] = 0 and [HIO3] = 0.20; </span>
<span>At equilibrium [H+] ≈ [IO3-] = x and [HIO3] = 0.20 - x; </span>
<span>so 0.17 = x² / (0.20 - x); </span>
<span>Solving for x using the quadratic formula: </span>
<span>x = [H+] = 0.063 M or pH = - log [H+] = 1.2.</span>
