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.

If exactly 59.6 g of nitrogen gas is needed to inflate your air bag to the
Inga [223]

Answer:

We need 92.3 grams of sodium azide

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas = 59.6 grams

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0 g/mol

Molar mass of sodium azide = 65.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2NaN3 → 2Na + 3N2

Step 3: Calculate moles nitrogen gas

Moles N2 = mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 59.6 grams/ 28.0 g/mol

Moles N2 = 2.13 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles NaN3

for 2 moles NaN3 we'll have 2 moles Na and 3  moles N2

For 2.13 moles N2 we need 2/3* 2.13 = 1.42 moles NaN3

Step 5: Calculate mass NaN3

Mass NaN3 = Moles NaN3 * molar mass NaN3

Mass NaN3 = 1.42 moles * 65.0 g/mol

Mass NaN3 = 92.3 grams

We need 92.3 grams of sodium azide
