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 <em>foaming agent,</em> so it is used in many shampoos and toothpastes.
The molecules form <em>micelles</em> 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.
Answer:
0.125 mg
Explanation:
<em>The correct answer would be 0.125 mg</em>
<u>According to the conversion factor, one milligram of a sample is equivalent to one thousand micrograms of the same sample.</u>
milligram = 
microgram = 
Hence,
1 milligram = 1000 micrograms or 1 microgram = milligram
Therefore, 125 micrograms will be:
125/1000 = 0.125 milligram
Answer:
The concentration of the solution is 5.8168 × 
mol.
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the concentration of the solution.
The unit of this is mol/dm^3
So the first thing to do here is to calculate the number of moles of the solute present, which is the number of moles of AlCO3
The number of moles = mass/molar mass
molar mass of AlCO3 = 27 + 12 + 3(16) = 27 + 12 + 48 = 87g/mol
Number of moles = 33.4/87 = 0.384 moles
This 0.384 moles is present in 660 L
x moles will be present in 1 dm^3
Recall 1 dm^3 = 1L
x * 660 = 0.384 * 1
x = 0.384/660 = 0.00058168 = 5.8168 * 10^-4 mol/dm^3
