Why is soap used to remove grease?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago

Grease does not mix with water, making it hydrophobic.

The non-polar ends of the soap molecules will be drawn to the grease and away from the water making soap bubbles which dissolve and float the grease away.


A is the correct answer

Calcium hydride (cah2) reacts with water to form hydrogen gas: cah2(s) + 2h2o(l) → ca(oh)2(aq) + 2h2(g) how many grams of cah2 a

Using the ideal gas law equation, we can find the number of H₂ moles produced.
PV = nRT
Where P - pressure - 0.811 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 82 175 Pa
V - volume - 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 32 °C + 273 = 305 K
substituting these values in the equation,
82 175 Pa x 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 305 K
n = 1.88 mol 

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
CaH₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) --> Ca(OH)₂(aq) + 2H₂(g)
stoichiometry of CaH₂ to H₂ is 1:2
When 1.88 mol of H₂ is formed , number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 1.88/2 mol
therefore number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 0.94 mol
Mass of CaH₂ reacted - 0.94 mol x 42 g/mol  = 39.48 g of CaH₂ are needed

Mercury (Hg) is present in trace amounts in coal, ranging from 50.0 to 200.0 ppb. A typical power plant burns 1.49 million tons
faust18 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

To calculate this, simply use an equality of proportions:

50 particles  :  1 billion particles = <em>x</em> tons  :  1.49 million tons

The value of <em>x</em> can be solved for by multiplying the ratio on the left by the value 1.49 million / 1 billion:

So, <em>x</em> = (50)(0.00149) tons = 0.0745 tons

Then, do the same thing for the larger concentration:

<em>x</em> = (200)(0.00149) tons = 0.298 tons

What type of van der Waals interactions occur between molecules
BigorU [14]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the type of van der Waals interactions that occur between molecules of O2, SCl2, and CH4 in liquids of these substances are the presence of <u>London dispersion forces</u>.

<h3>What are London dispersion forces?</h3>
  • They are a force of attraction between atoms.
  • They are generated by electrostatic attraction.
  • These forces are common between atoms in close proximity and occur often when compounds have a symmetrical distribution of atoms.
  • They are generated by the formation of temporary dipoles.

Therefore, given the symmetry of the atoms disposition in these compounds and the temporary dipoles generated by the atoms being in close proximity, we can confirm that the van der Waals forces present in each compound are London dispersion forces.
