A researcher measures the equilibrium separation between two flat hydrophilic mica plates in a solution of non-ionic surfactant.

When the surfactant concentration is below CMC the surfaces touch at 0 nm distance without any separation (i.e., there is no surfactant adsorption and repulsion)
a) The researcher increases the surfactant concentration much above CMC and finds out that the system has equilibrium separations at 0 nm, 4 nm, 8 nm, 12 nm and some at larger distances. Draw schematics and explain the reason for this effect.
b) The researcher hydrophobizes the mica surfaces and again dips them in the first solution with surfactant concentration below CMC. When these surfaces are brought in contact, they remain separated at a distance of 4 nm (no equilibria at larger separations). Draw a schematic and explain the reason for this observation with hydrophobic surfaces.

How to classify hemicetal and acetal
kumpel [21]
You might have meant hemiacetal, not hemicetal.
Acetals contain two –OR groups, one –R group and a –H atom. In hemiacetals, one of the –OR groups in acetals is replaced by a –OH group<span>.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Answer:hydrocarbons</u>

Explanation:

The simplest organic compounds are the hydrocarbons, which contain only carbon and hydrogen. Alkanes contain only carbon–hydrogen and carbon–carbon single bonds, alkenes contain at least one carbon–carbon double bond, and alkynes contain one or more carbon–carbon triple bonds.

An acid and a base solution were mixed together in a crucible and all the water in the mixture was evaporated off. What is left
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Base on the question , an acid and  a base solution was mixed together in a crucible and all the water in the mixture was evaporated off. The only substance left in the crucible is the salt solution.

Explanation:

Acids are substances that dissolves in water to produce hydrogen ion(H⁺) while base are substances that dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH⁻).

The chemical reaction between an acid and a base solution is known as a neutralization reaction. The reaction between these 2 compounds will produce salt and water.  An acid solution will react with a base solution to form salt and water.  An example of this kind of reaction is between HCl (Hydrochloric acid) and NaOH(sodium hydroxide).

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O . The product form here is sodium chloride(salt) and water

Base on the question , an acid and  a base solution was mixed together in a crucible and all the water in the mixture was evaporated off. The only substance left in the crucible is the salt solution. Note that the other product which is water has been evaporated and we are left with only salt solution.
