Answer:

Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

A monoprotic acid, HX, will be in equilibrium in an aqueous medium such as:

HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)

<em>Where Ka is:</em>

Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]

<em>Where [] is the molar concentration in equilibrium of each specie. </em>

The equilibrium is reached when some HX reacts producing H+ and X-, that is:

[HX] = 1.64M - X

[H⁺] = X

[X⁻] = X

As pH is 2.82 = -log [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M:

[HX] = 1.64M - 1.51x10⁻³M = 1.638M

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M

[X⁻] = 1.51x10⁻³M

And Ka is:

Ka = [1.51x10⁻³M] [1.51x10⁻³M] / [1.638M]

<h3>Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶</h3>

What purpose does ammonia lauryl sulfate serve as a surfactor
Alborosie

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonium lauryl sulfate has the structural formula CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OSO₂O⁻ NH₄⁺.

The long nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and the ionic sulfate end group make it a surfactant.  

The ionic end tends to dissolve in water, but the nonpolar chain does not. This makes the compound an excellent <em>foaming agent,</em> so it is used in many shampoos and toothpastes.

The molecules form <em>micelles</em> in water, small spherical shapes with the polar heads outside, facing the water, and the nonpolar tails are inside.

They reduce the surface tension or the water so that, when you brush your teeth or shampoo your hair, the air bubbles are stable and do not break.
