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

Chemistry

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 .

2. Balance the equation below, and answer the following question: What volume of chlorine gas, measured at STP, is needed to com
Juliette [100K]
Balanced equation: 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) ---> 2NaCl(s)

when we have STP conditions, we can use this conversion: 1 mol = 22.4 L

first, we have to convert grams to molecules using the molar mass, and then use mole to mole ratio from the balanced equation. 

molar mass of Na= 23.0 g/mol
 ratio: 2 mol Na= 1 mol Cl₂ (based on coefficients of balanced equation)

calculations:

6.25 g Na ( \frac{1 mol Na}{23.0 g} ) ( \frac{1 mol Cl_2}{2 mol Na} ) ( \frac{22.4 L}{1 mol} )= 3.04 L
