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'.

Melatonin has the chemical formula C13H16N2O2. Less than 10 milligrams(0.01g) Convert the melatonin to moles
oee [108]

Answer: There are 0.000043 moles of melatonin.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

given mass = 10 mg = 0.01 g

molar mass of C_{13}H_{16}N_2O_2 = 232.28 g

{\text {moles of melatonin}}=\frac{0.01g}{232.28g/mol}=0.000043moles

Thus there are 0.000043 moles of melatonin

Give an example of a balanced force.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

When two forces are the same strength but act in opposite direction, they are called balanced forces. Again, tug-of-war is a perfect example. If the people on each side of the rope are pulling with the same strength, but in the opposite direction, the forces are balanced. The result is no motion.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!

EXPERIMENT 4 : TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARY
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Movement in narrow zones along plate boundaries causes most earthquakes. Most seismic activity occurs at three types of plate boundaries—divergent, convergent, and transform. As the plates move past each other, they sometimes get caught and pressure builds up.

1.00 g of a compound is combusted in oxygen and found to give 3.14g of CO2 and 1.29 g of H2O. From these data we can tell thatA.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

the compound contains C, H, and some other element of unknownidentity, so we can’t calculate the empirical formula

Explanation:

Mass of CO2 obtained = 3.14 g

Hence number of moles of CO2 = 3.14g/44.0 g = 0.0714 mol

The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0714 mol × 12.0g/mol = 0.857 g

Mass of H2O obtained = 1.29 g

Hence number of moles of H2O = 1.29g/18.0 g = 0.0717 mol

The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0717 mol × 1g/mol = 0.0717 g

% by mass of carbon = 0.857/1 ×100 = 85.7 %

% by mass of hydrogen = 0.0717/1 × 100 = 7.17%

Mass of carbon and hydrogen = 85.7 + 7.17 = 92.87 %

Hence, there must be an unidentified element that accounts for (100 - 92.87) = 7.13% of the compound.
