Answer:

Carbon has the ability to form very long chains of interconnecting C-C bonds. This property allows carbon to form the backbone of organic compounds, carbon-containing compounds, which are the basis of all known organic life. Nearly 10 million carbon-containing organic compounds are known.

How many grams of aluminum will react fully with 1.25 moles Cl₂?

Liula [17]

2Al + 3Cl₂ → 2AlCl₃

mol Al = 2/3 x 1.25 = 0.83

mass Al = 0.83 x 27 g/mol = 22.41 g

What purpose does ammonia lauryl sulfate serve as a surfactor

Alborosie

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonium lauryl sulfate has the structural formula CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OSO₂O⁻ NH₄⁺.

The long nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and the ionic sulfate end group make it a surfactant.

The ionic end tends to dissolve in water, but the nonpolar chain does not. This makes the compound an excellent foaming agent, so it is used in many shampoos and toothpastes.

The molecules form micelles in water, small spherical shapes with the polar heads outside, facing the water, and the nonpolar tails are inside.

They reduce the surface tension or the water so that, when you brush your teeth or shampoo your hair, the air bubbles are stable and do not break.

Borax (na2b4o7Â·10h2o; fw = 381.372 g/mol; density = 1.73 g/ml), a primary standard, was used to standardize a solution of hno3.

SashulF [63]

0.06355391 mol The balanced equation for the reaction is Na2B4O7*10H2O + 2 HNO3 = 2 NaNO3 + 4 H3BO3 + 5 H2O So for each mole of Borax to neutralize, it takes 2 moles of HNO3. Calculate number of moles of Borax 0.2619 g / 381.372 g/mol = 0.0006867 mol Moles of HNO3 used = 0.0006867 mol * 2 = 0.0013734 mol Molarity is defined as moles per liter so divide the number of moles used by the volume in liters. So 0.0013734 / 0.02161 = 0.06355391 mol

The reaction CO2(g) → C(s) + O2(g) is a decomposition reaction. True False

Lyrx [107]

The reaction CO₂(g) → C(s) +O₂(g) is a decomposition reaction is true

Explanation

A Decomposition reaction is a reaction in which involve breaking down a compound into two or more simpler substances.

The reaction above is a decomposition reaction since CO₂ molecule is broken down into C (an element) and O₂ (a molecule).
