Soap is the sodium or potassium salt of long chain of fatty acid. Fatty acids when treated with NaOH or KOH forms Soap. This process is called as Saponification. Examples of Soap are as follow,

                                     1.  Sodium Stearate C₁₇H₃₅COONa
                                   
                                     2.  Potassium Oleate C₁₇H₃₃COOK

Reaction of Soap with MgCl₂;

When Soap is treated with MgCl₂ or CaCl₂ it forms insoluble precipitate called S.C.U.M. The reactions with MgCl₂ are as follow,

                2C₁₇H₃₅COONa + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 NaCl

                2C₁₇H₃₃COOK   + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 KCl

These reaction are often found in hard water. And this reaction decreases the effectiveness of soap.

A scientist finds that a sample of matter contains three types of atoms. The sample can be any of the following, except:
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. element

Explanation:

The sample cannot be an element because an element - or <em>elemental substance</em> - cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. Thus, it cannot be composed by differents types of atoms. For example, an element is carbon (C).

As the sample contains <u>three types of atoms</u>, it can be a compound, a molecule or a mixture, because they can be composed by different types of atoms - of different chemical elements. For example, the sample could contain the element carbon (C) combined with other elements, for example oxygen (O) or hydrogen (H), amoing others.

Mg3N2(s)+6H2O(l)→3Mg(OH)2(s)+2NH3(g) When 36.0 g of H2O react, how many grams of NH3 are produced? When 36.0 g of H2O react, how
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

11.3 g of NH_{3} are produced from 36.0 g of H_{2}O

Explanation:

1. The balanced chemical equation is the following:

Mg_{3}N_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)=3Mg(OH)_{2}(s)+2NH_{3}(g)

2. Use the molar mass of the H_{2}O, the molar mass of the NH_{3} and the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical reaction to find how many grams of NH_{3} are produced:

Molar mass H_{2}O = 18\frac{g}{mol}

Molar mass NH_{3} = 17\frac{g}{mol}

36.0gH_{2}O*\frac{1molH_{2}O}{18gH_{2}O}*\frac{2molesNH_{3}}{6molesH_{2}O}*\frac{17gNH_{3}}{1molNH_{3}}=11.3gNH_{3}

Therefore 11.3 g of NH_{3} are produced from 36.0 g of H_{2}O

The melting point of table salt is 801 degrees celsius. is this a physical or chemical property?
Valentin [98]
It is a Physical property because like water it changes into a ice cube but it can be melted into water or be turned back into an ice cube.
