Answer:

Sodium laurate, also known as sodium dodecanoate, is a soap. It is the salt of lauric acid. It is an amphiphilic organic molecule which is composed of a hydrophilic head (polar ) and a hydrophobic tail (non-polar fatty acid).

In a aqueous solution, it leads to the formation of a micelle. The hydrophilic head of the molecule interacts with the surrounding polar solvent molecules. Thereby, making the micelle soluble in the solution. Whereas, the hydrophobic tails present in the core of micelle, interacts with the non-polar oil particles.

How does the emission spectrum support the idea of quantized energy levels
ryzh [129]

Explanation:

Different atoms absorb and emit specific wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation and nothing in between. These absorption and emission spectra are actually used to identify atoms of elements in a substance. This phenomenon is explained by Bohr's theory of quantized energy levels in an atom – called orbital levels. When an electron 'jumps' from a lower to higher orbital level, it absorbs a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation specific to the ‘jump’. Vice versa, when an electron 'jumps' to a lower orbital level is emits an equivalent  and specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation.

Which of these statements is not true about chemical reaction rates?
xeze [42]
Temperature can change a reaction rate because adding or taking away heat means energy is being added or taken away. When energy is added, the particles speed up, so there is a greater chance of the reactants colliding to form the products, which increases the reaction rate. When energy is taken away, the particles more slower, so they don't collide as easily, which slows down the reaction rate.

Therefore, the answer is D.
