Answer:

Grease and oil are non>polar and insoluble in water. These fatty acids are less soluble than the sodium or potassium salts and form a precipitate or soap dirt. Because of this, soaps are ineffective in acidic water. Also, soaps form insoluble salts in hard water, such as water containing magnesium, calcium, or iron.

Because they are solids. granted they have coating but since they are solids at first it’s hard to dissolve

A government laboratory wants to determine whether water in a certain city has any traces of fluoride and whether the concentrat

nexus9112 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Concentration of fluorine in water recommended = 4.00 ppm

ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of fluorine in water, we use the equation:

$\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^6$

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of fluorine = $0.152mg=0.152\times 10^{-3}g$ (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Mass of water = 5.00 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{ppm of fluorine in water}=\frac{0.152\times 10^{-3}}{5}\times 10^6\\\\\text{ppm of fluorine in water}=30.4$

As, the calculated concentration is greater than the recommended concentration. So, the given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

Hence, the given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

For the following example, identify the following:

guapka [62]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the Gibb's free energy conditions:

If $\Delta G$ < 0, then reaction is spontaneous.

If $\Delta G$ > 0, then reaction is non-spontaneous.

If $\Delta G$ = 0, then reaction is equilibrium.

Since, the given reaction is $F_{2}(l) \rightarrow F_{2}(g)$ . It denotes that liquid state of fluorine is changing into gaseous state. And, the boiling point of fluorine is very low.

Therefore, at low and high temperature fluorine is a gas. Hence, the reaction is spontaneous in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement at low temperature, the reaction is spontaneous and $\Delta G$ < 0 and at high temperature, the reaction is spontaneous and $\Delta G$ < 0, is correct.
