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.

Exhibits the highest intermolecular<br> forces of the states of matter.
disa [49]

Answer:

Solid

Explanation:

In solid there are strong intermolecular forces present as compared to liquid and gas. This is why solid are in more packed form as compared to liquid and gas. In liquid and gas intermolecular forces are week that's why molecules are away from each other and occupy more space.

Properties of gases:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.

Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.

Properties of Liquid:

Liquid have definite volume but don't have definite shape.

Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.

In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.

Properties of solids:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

How many moles of sucrose<br> are in 5.25x1029 sucrose<br> molecules? (in scientific notation)
Lorico [155]

Answer:

8.72 × 10^5 moles

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in 5.25 x 10^29 molecules of sucrose, we divide the number of molecules by Avagadro constant (6.02 × 10²³ molecules). That is;

no. of moles = no. of molecules ÷ 6.02 × 10²³ molecules

In this case of sucrose, no of moles contained is as follows;

5.25 × 10^29 ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

5.25/6.02 × 10^ (29-23)

0.872 × 10^6

= 8.72 × 10^5 moles
