Soap was made for cleaning washing and such. It’s important to use soap in the process of cleaning your clothes because not only does it usually leave a better scent but it helps take out stains and such. That’s why we use soap to clean our bodies, faces, dogs, certain materials. So that the dirt and any other debris comes off. Think about washing the dishes, you don’t wash them with only water. You use soap because it’s the most logical effective way to clean things.

Answer:

Water alone can't clean clothes because it won't attach to molecules of grease and dirt.

Explanation:

The surfactants it contains are made of molecules that have two different ends. One end is strongly attracted to water; the other is attracted to oily substances like grease.

What is the pH of 500 mL of water after the addition of 1 mL of 2M NaOH?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

pH = 11.60

Explanation:

When we add a base, we are increasing [OH⁻], so the pH will be totally basic.

pH of water = 7

Basic pH > 7

We are adding 2 M . 1 mL = 2 mmoles

2 mmoles of OH⁻ are contained in 501 mL of total volume.

[OH⁻] = 2 mmol / 501 mL =  3.99×10⁻³ M

- log 3.99×10⁻³ M = 2.39 → pOH

pH = 14 - pOH → 11.61

Water equilibrium

2H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺   +  OH⁻          Kw = 1×10⁻¹⁴

NaOH  →  Na⁺   +  OH⁻

Calculate the number of moles of H, in 11 L of gas at STP.​
kramer

Explanation:

1 mole of a gas has 22.4 L of volume at STP. Therefore, 0.5 mol of H2 has 0.5 x 6.022 x 1023 = 3.011 x 1023 molecules. Hence, the number of moles, molecules and atoms present in 11.2 liters of H2 at STP are 0.5 , 3.011 x 1023 and 6.022 x 1023 respectively.
