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.

Which best describes an oxidizing agent?
stellarik [79]

Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.

M\rightarrow M^++e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

N^++e^-\rightarrow N

Overall reaction: M+N^+\rightarrow M^++N

The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Enzyme  

Explanation:

An enzyme is an organic catalyst that speeds up a reaction but can be recovered unchanged.

Human lactase consists of 4092 amino acid groups and has a molar mass of about 280 000 u, so it has a complex structure.

What are three ways lakes can form?
quester [9]
Just choose 3

1) Lakes can form in hollows left by meteorite impacts (e.g. Clearwater Lakes, Quebec, Canada).

2) Lakes can form in the craters formed by volcanoes (e.g. Crater Lake, Oragon)

3) Lakes can form when a river is damed by a natural rock fall or man (e.g. Lake Mede)

4) Lakes can form where glaciers have scooped out the rock from the floor of a valley (e.g. Lake Geneva)

5) Lakes can form where block faulting lowers the land (e.g. lake Baikal)

6) lakes can form in natural depressions in the land (e.g. Lake Victoria)
