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 .

How many atoms are in 490 moles of barium?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

2.95 * 10^23 atoms

Explanation:

The number of atoms in a mole is always equal to <u>Avogadro's constant</u>, which is <u>6.02214076×10²³ mol⁻¹</u>.

To find the number of atoms in 0.490 moles of barium, multiply it with <u>Avogadro's constant</u>:

0.490 mol * 6.02214076×10²³ mol⁻¹ ≈ 2.9508 * 10^23

Convert to SigFigs (if necessary):

2.95 * 10^23

Covalent solutes are considered non-electrolytes. What does this mean for the conductivity of the solution? A) Non-electrolytes
iogann1982 [59]

Electrolytes are those which dissociates in solution and produces ions.

Ions can carry current,so Electrolytes conduct electiricity.

And non electrolytes are those which do not dissociate in solution and doesnt produce ions.

Since non electrolytes do not produce ions they cannot conduct electricity.

<u>Hence the right option is:</u>

B) Non-electrolytes dissolve and do not dissociate in water providing no charged ions to conduct electricity.
