Chemistry
1 answer:
tia_tia [17]3 years ago
5 0

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 <u>magnesium and calcium minerals</u> 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.

A scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, for a laboratory experiment. How many grams of Na3PO4
ddd [48]

Answer:

178.35g

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution can be calculated using the formula:

Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume

Based on the information provided in this question, molarity (M) of the solution = 1.50 M, volume = 725 mL = 725/1000 = 0.725L, n = ?

1.50 = n / 0.725

n = 1.50 × 0.725

n = 1.0875mol

Molar mass of Na3PO4

23(3) + 31 + 16(4)

= 69 + 31 + 64

= 164g/mol

Mole = mass ÷ molar mass

1.0875 = mass/164

mass = 178.35g

If 0.450 moles of iron III oxide (Fe2O3) are allowed to react with an excess of aluminum (Al) and 43.6 grams of iron (Fe) is pro
Volgvan
21.4 g Al * (1 mol / 26.98 g ) * (2 mol Fe / 2 mol Al) = 0.793 mol Fe 
91.3 g Fe2O3 * (1 mol / 159.69 g) * (2 mol Fe / 1 mol Fe2O3) = 1.14 mol Fe 
0.793 mol Fe * (55.85 g / 1 mol) = 44.3 g Fe produced.
