Answer:

A. Soaps react with ions in hard water to create a precipitate.

B. Soaps are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic.

D. Soaps should be weakly alkaline in solution.

Explanation:

A. Hard water contains magnesium and calcium minerals like calcium and magnesium carbonates, sulfates and bicarbonates. As soon as these minerals come in contact with soap their ions like Mg²⁺ & Ca²⁺ form precipitates.

B. Soap are both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. They reason why they exhibit both the properties is really important for their functionality. The hydrophobic part of soap makes interaction with oil/dust particles while the hydrophilic part makes interaction with water. When the cloth is rinsed the dirt/soap particles are removed from the dirty clothes thereby making them clean.

C. Soaps have alkaline pH i.e. more than 7 that is why they have bitter taste.

Determine the correct Lewis structure for ammonia (NH3). Note: Hydrogen and nitrogen have one and five valence electrons respect

Tresset [83]

The lewis structure is helpful in showing how the bonding between atoms of a molecule are. The lewis structure of ammonia would be that the nitrogen atom will share three pairs of electron with the three hydrogen atoms leaving nitrogen to have 1 lone pair.

Calcula la densidad de un cuerpo que tiene la masa de 12g y un volumen de 3cm^3 dar el resultado en unidades del SI

kvv77 [185]

The density is 4 g/cm³ or 4000 kg/m³.

Density = mass/volume = 12 g/3 cm³ = 4 g/cm³

The measurement of 4 g/cm³ is already in SI units.

In SI base units,

Density = (4 g/1 cm³) × (1 kg/1000 g) × (100 cm/1 m)³ = 4000 kg/m³
