Explanation:

Soaps attach to both water and grease molecules.

The grease molecules are attracted more strongly towards each other as compared to water molecules. Also, water molecules are smaller in size hence, strong intermolecular force is required to break the hydrogen bonds of water molecule so that grease or oil molecules can enter the water molecule.

A soap molecule goes in between water and grease molecule and helps them to bind. The force for linkage between water and grease molecule through the soap molecule is weak london dispersion force.

The soap molecule has its salt end as ionic and water soluble. When grease or oil is added to the soap and water solution then the soap acts as an emulsifier. The soap forms miscelles of the non-polar tails and grease molecules are trapped between these miscelles. This miscelle is easily soluble in water hence, the grease is washed away.

Thus, it can be concluded that the nonpolar end of a soap molecule attaches itself to grease.

Answer: The non-polar end of a soap molecule attaches itself to grease.

Explanation:

Soap molecule that is <em>miscelle </em>has two parts:

  • Polar part or hydrophilic part : This part interacts with polar water molecules.
  • Non-polar or hydrophobic : This part interacts with the non-polar molecules that is grease.

By the interaction of non-polar part with grease and interaction of  polar part with water due to which grease get easily dissolved in water.

Hence,the correct answer is : 'The non-polar end of a soap molecule attaches itself to grease'.

For the following reaction, KcKc = 255 at 1000 KK.
bonufazy [111]

Answer :

The equilibrium concentration of CO is, 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ is, 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ is, 0.139 M

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

                           CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)

Initial conc.      0.1550      0.173           0

At eqm.          (0.1550-x)  (0.173-x)         x

As we are given:

K_c=255

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

255=\frac{(x)}{(0.1550-x)\times (0.173-x)}

x = 0.139 and x = 0.193

We are neglecting value of x = 0.193 because equilibrium concentration can not be more than initial concentration.

Thus, we are taking value of x = 0.139

The equilibrium concentration of CO = (0.1550-x) = (0.1550-0.139) = 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ = (0.173-x) = (0.173-0.139) = 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ = x = 0.139 M

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and iron(III) hydroxide.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for the reaction between aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and iron (III) hydroxide, we have the following complete molecular reaction:

3NH_4Cl(aq)+Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow 3NH_4OH+FeCl_3

And the full ionic equation, taking into account that the iron (III) hydroxide cannot be dissolved as it is insoluble in water:

3NH_4^+(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)+Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow 3NH_4^+(aq)+3OH^-(aq)+Fe^{3+}(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)

Finally, the net ionic equation, considering that spectator ions are NH₄⁺, Cl⁻ as they are both the left and right side, therefore, the net ionic equation is:

Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)

Best regards.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The <u>Mole</u> is the SI unit that expresses the amount of substance.

Mole is defined as - The mole is the amount of substance containing the same number of entities as there are in the 12 grams of Carbon - 12.

Mole is denoted by using symbol mol.

      Mole = 6.022 x 10²³ elementary entities.

These number of elementary entities in 1 mole is equal to or called as an Avogadro's number.  Mole is equal to 6.022 x 10²³ because this number of entity is same as in exactly 12 g of carbon-12.

It is a very important SI unit of measured which is used by the chemists. Moles are used in measuring in small or tiny things such as atoms, molecules and the other tiny particles.
