The soap molecule is special because it has a hydrophobic tail with a

Chemistry
1 answer:
Igoryamba4 years ago

Answer:

True!

Explanation:

Soap molecules form something called micelle. If you look it up, these are usually formed if something has a hydrophobic tails (water hating) and hydrophilic heads (water loving).

So essentially when you try to get the grease off of your shirt or hand, the soap hydrophobic ends interact with grease and capture it and the water interacts with the hydrophilic heads to pull the micelle out releasing the grease.

What is the reaction that corresponds to the first ionization energy of rubidium, rb?
dedylja [7]

Ionization is a process in which an electron present in the outermost orbital of an atom gets knocked out by absorbing an appropriate amount of energy. Release of electron from a neutral atom results in the formation of a cation- a positively charged ion.

Rubidium (Rb) is an alkali metal with a valence electron configuration of 5s¹. Ionization results in the loss of this '5s' electron forming a Rb+ ion. The reaction can be expressed as:

Rb (5s¹) → Rb⁺ (5s⁰) + e⁻

Aqueous lead (II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2 undergoes a double displacement reaction with aqueous sodium chloride, NaCl, in which a prec
slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) ==> PbCl2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

NO3- mixes with everything at beginning levels.

PbCl2 doesn't mix at all in water. It becomes a ppte, which means it is solid form. Your teacher might prefer using PbCl2(ppte). I think I'd ask to make sure.

Measurements show that enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants decreases by 228. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, which
Tcecarenko [31]
Total change in energy = Heat produced by system + work done on the system
= 228 - 55
= 173 kJ

Because this energy is released as heat, the reaction is exothermic.

The reaction between carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and water, H2O, to form carbon dioxide, CO2, and hydrogen chloride, HCl, has a
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

High activation energy is the reason behind unsuccessful reaction.

Explanation:

There are two types of reaction: (1) thermodynamically controlled reaction and (2) kinetically controlled reaction.

Thermodynamically controlled reaction are associated with change in enthalpy during reaction. More negative the enthalpy change, more favored will be the reaction.

Kinetically controlled reaction are associated with activation energy of a reaction. The lower the activation energy value, the more rapid will be the reaction.

Here, reaction between CCl_{4} and H_{2}O is thermodynamically favored due to negative enthalpy change but the high activation energy does not allow the reaction to take place by simple mixing.
