Explanation:

Sodium stearate , is the soap , it a ionic compound , hence , can easily break to cation and anion , and therefore is soluble in water .It works on the principle of micelle formation .

Tristearin and stearic acid are fatty acids , and have are carboxyl group and have a very huge hydrocarbon chain , making it non polar in nature ,hence is is insoluble in water , since , water is a polar molecule .

aleksley [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 3000 cm

Explanation:

30 meters long to cm

We can use a rule of three to solve it

We know that              1 meter ------------------  100 cm

                                  30 meters ----------------    x

                               x = 30(100)/1 = 3000 cm

What does an emission spectrum show?
IrinaVladis [17]

It shows the type of atoms/elements in a substance

Different types of atoms have different emission spectrum - a concept supported by Bohr quantum theory - hence one is able to identify elements in a substance using a method called spectroscopy.

Explanation:

When an electron jumps from a low energy orbital to a higher energy orbital in an atom, it absorbs a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation (This is called absorption spectrum). Vice versa, if the same electron jumps from a higher to a lower energy orbital it releases the equivalent quantum energy in electromagnetic wave (This is called emission spectrum). Different types of atoms of different elements have a unique spectrum identifier.

Individual solute particles are broken apart from the solid by these particles. * a Solution b Insoluble c Solvent d Compounds
Maru [420]

Answer:

Individual solute particles are broken apart from the solid by the;

c. Solvent

Explanation:

A solution is the homogeneous mixture that is made up of two or more substances formed by dissolving a substance which can be a solid, liquid or gas in another substance known as the solvent which normally the larger part of the fraction of the solution than the solute and can also be a solid, liquid or a gas

In a solution the solvent particles serves to brake of and disperser parts of a solid solute to form a more or less homogeneous mixture

Therefore, the solute particles are broken by the <u>solvent</u> particles in a solution
