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 chunk of tin weighing 18.5 grams and originally at 97.38 °C is dropped into an insulated cup containing 75.7 grams of water at

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

22.44°C will be the final temperature of the water.

Explanation:

Heat lost by tin will be equal to heat gained by the water

$-Q_1=Q_2$

Mass of tin = $m_1=18.5 g$

Specific heat capacity of tin = $c_1=0.21 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the tin = $T_1=97.38^oC$

Final temperature = $T_2$ =T

$Q_1=m_1c_1\times (T-T_1)$

Mass of water= $m_2=75.7 g$

Specific heat capacity of water= $c_2=4.184 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the water = $T_3=21.52^oC$

Final temperature of water = $T_2$ =T

$Q_2=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)$

$-Q_1=Q_2$

$-(m_1c_1\times (T-T_1))=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)$

On substituting all values:

$-(18.5 g\times 0.21 J/g^oC\times (T-97.38^oC))=75.7 g\times 4.184 J/g^oC\times (T-21.52 ^oC)$

we get, T = 22.44°C

22.44°C will be the final temperature of the water.

. In which reaction is nitric acid acting as an oxidising agent?

Talja [164]

Answer:

B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we should understand oxidizing agents as those substances able to increase the oxidation state of another substance, therefore, in B. reaction we notice that copper oxidation state at the beginning is zero (no bonds are formed) and once it reacts with nitric acid, its oxidation states raises to +2 in copper (II) nitrate, thus, in B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2 nitritc acid is acting as the oxidizing agent.

Moreover, in the other reactions, copper (A.), sodium (C. and D.) remain with the same initial oxidation state, +2 and +1 respectively.

Regards.
