Answer:
A. Soaps react with ions in hard water to create a precipitate.
B. Soaps are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic.
D. Soaps should be weakly alkaline in solution.
Explanation:
A. Hard water contains <u>magnesium and calcium minerals</u> like calcium and magnesium carbonates, sulfates and bicarbonates. As soon as these minerals come in contact with soap their ions like Mg²⁺ & Ca²⁺ form precipitates.
B. Soap are both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. They reason why they exhibit both the properties is really important for their functionality. The hydrophobic part of soap makes interaction with oil/dust particles while the hydrophilic part makes interaction with water. When the cloth is rinsed the dirt/soap particles are removed from the dirty clothes thereby making them clean.
C. Soaps have alkaline pH i.e. more than 7 that is why they have bitter taste.
Answer: When coal is burned, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy, light energy, and sound energy. Only the thermal energy is used for electricity production. Light and sound energy dissipate into the environment, immediately reducing efficiency.
Hope this helps.
The answer is (3) a homogeneous mixture. The difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture is the degree of the mixture being mixed. Due to the completely dissolved and the dissolving ability of KCl, we can get the answer,
