Is it true that soaps are salts of sulfonic acids though some have been made from alkyl sulphonates​

Chemistry

Neko [114]3 years ago

Answer:

It is false.

Soaps are sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids.

Synthetic detergents on the other hand, are salts of long-chain alkyl sulfuric  acids (sulfonic acid) or alkylbenzenesulfonic acids, rather than carboxylic acids.

Explanation:

Soaps are sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids. Soaps are made by the process of saponification in which an alkali is added to a fat or oil and then boiled to produce a salt of the fatty acid known as soap. The alkali used may be sodium or potassium hydroxide. However, the advantage of potassium soaps is that are more soluble and lather more easily.

<em>Salts of sulfonic acids or alkylbenzenesulphonates are known as detergents</em>. Unlike soaps, they are not salts of fatty acids and are more soluble in hard water, because the polar sulfonate ion of detergents does not readily bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water. Thus, detergents are more widely used as cleansing agents than soaps

A 25.0 ml sample of 0.150 m hydrazoic acid is titrated with a 0.150 m naoh solution. what is the ph after 15.0 ml of the sodium
babunello [35]
First, we need to calculate moles of hydrazoic acid NH3:

moles NH3 = molarity * volume 

                    = 0.15 m * 0.025 L

                   =  0.00375 moles

moles NaOH = molarity * volume 

                       = 0.15 m * 0.015 L

                       = 0.00225 moles 

after that we shoul get the total volume = 0.025L + 0.015L

                                                                   = 0.04 L

So we can get the concentration of NH3 & NaOH by:

∴[NH3] = moles NH3 / total volume 

           = 0.00375 moles / 0.04 L

           = 0.09375 M

∴[NaOH] = moles NaOH / total volume 

                = 0.00225 moles / 0.04 L

                = 0.05625 M

then, when we have the value of Ka of NH3 so we can get the Pka value from:

Pka = -㏒Ka 

       = - ㏒ 1.9 x10^-5

      = 4.7 

finally, by using H-H equation we can get PH:

PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/ basic]

PH = 4.7 +㏒[0.05625/0.09375]

∴ PH = 4.48

Which of the following describes the process of deflation?
goldenfox [79]
The answer is C. <span>The wind removes surface particles, resulting in lower land surface.

Deflation is the process of lifting and moving of tiny particles of soil or sand, brought about by the wind. It can also be associated with soil erosion. This is a common phenomenon in deserts and sand dune areas near the coast.</span>
