Why does soap decrease the surface tension of water?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

Soap decreases surface tension by changing the way water behaves on the surface. Hard and soft water react differently when soap is added to them.

Answer:

$m_{PbI_2}=18.2gKI$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

$2KI+Pb(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 2KNO_3+PbI_2$

Thus, we proceed to compute the reacting moles of Pb(NO3)2 and KI, by using the given concentrations and densities and molar masses which are 331.2 g/mol and 166 g/mol respectively:

$n_{Pb(NO_3)_2}=96.7mL*\frac{1.134g}{mL}*\frac{0.14gPb(NO_3)_2}{1g}*\frac{1molPb(NO_3)_2}{331.2gPb(NO_3)_2} =0.0464molPb(NO_3)_2\\\\n_{KI}=99.8mL*\frac{1.093g}{mL}*\frac{0.12gKI}{1g}*\frac{1molKI}{166gKI} =0.0789molKI$

Next, the 0.0464 moles of Pb(NO3)2 will consume the following moles of KI (consider their 1:2 molar ratio):

$n_{KI}^{consumed\ by\ Pb(NO_3)_2}=0.0464molPb(NO_3)_2*\frac{2molKI}{1molPb(NO_3)_2} =0.0928molKI$

Hence, as only 0.0789 moles of KI are available, KI is the limiting reactant, therefore the formed grams of PbI2, considering its molar mass of 461.01 g/mol and 2:1 molar ratio, are:

$m_{PbI_2}=0.0789molKI*\frac{1molPbI_2}{2molKI} *\frac{461.01gPbI_2}{1molPbI_2} \\\\m_{PbI_2}=18.2gKI$
