Sodium dodecanoate is soluble in water even though it contains a large hydrophobic segment. How does this molecule interact with

its surroundings to facilitate solubility?

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.

What is the volume of 0.410 moles of co2 at STP​
inna [77]

Answer: 9.18 Litres

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP). Think of this as the perfect environment where the Temp. is 0°C or 273 Kelvin and Pressure is always 1 atm. This is only true in STP.

This question uses the Ideal Gas Equation:

PV=nRT

P= 1 atm

V = ??

T = 273 K (always convert to Kelvin unless told otherwise)

n = 0.410 mol

R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

What R constant to use depends on the units of the other values. (look at the attachments) The units cancel out and only Litres is left. You simply multiply the values.

"A crosslinked copolymer consists of 57 wt% ethylene (C2H4) repeat units and 43 wt% propylene (C3H6) repeat units. Determine the
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Percentage ethylene by weight = 57%

Percentage propylene by weight = 43%

Suppose in 100 grams of polymer:

Mass of ethylene = 57 g

Mass of propylene = 43 g

Moles of ethylene = \frac{57 g}{28 g/mol}=2.036 mol

Moles of propylene = \frac{43g}{42g/mol}=1.024 mol

1 mole = N_A =6.022\times 10^{23} molecules/ atoms

Units of ethylene = 2.036 mol\times N_A

Units of propylene = 1.024 mol\times N_A

a) Fraction of ethylene units:

=\frac{2.036 mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{509}{765}

b ) Fraction of propylene units:

=\frac{1.024mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{256}{765}

What is the mass of 22.4 L of H2 at STP?
Vanyuwa [196]

A. 1.01 is the right answer

Since

The formula is Pv= nRT

P=1 atm

V= 22.4 L

N= x

r= 0.0821

t = 273 k (bc it’s standard temperature)

So (1)(22.4)=(x)(0.0821)(273)

X= 1.001
