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.

Answer and work for this problem
MArishka [77]
We can write the balanced equation for the synthesis reaction as 
     H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)

We use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and hydrogen gas H2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2 needed:
     mass of H2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) * 
                           (2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2)                        
                        = 4.056 g H2

We also use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and chlorine gas CL2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2:
     mass of CL2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol HCl) *
                             (70.91 g Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2)
                          = 142.4 g Cl2 

Therefore, we need 4.056 grams of hydrogen gas and 142.4 grams of chlorine gas to produce 146.4 grams of hydrogen chloride gas.

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 65.8 grams of water from 31.5ºC to 46.9ºC?
vodomira [7]

Answer: 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J

Explanation:

1) Data:

Water ⇒ C = 1 cal/g°C

m = 65.8 g

Ti = 31.5°C

Tf = 36.9°C

Heat, Q = ?

2) Formula:

Q = mCΔT

3) Calculations:

Q = 65.8g × 1 cal/g°C × (46.9°C - 31.5°C) = 1,013.2 cal

4) You can convert from calories to Joules using the conversion factor:

1 cal = 4.18 J

⇒ 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J
