Briefly describe the action of hardwater with soap​

Chemistry
1 answer:
morpeh [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - hard water reacts to form the calcium or magnesium salt of the organic acid of the soap.

Explanation:

Soaps are made up of fatty acids or oils by treating with strong alkali and are salts of sodium and potassium. Hard water, on the other hand, has a high concentration of minerals in comparison to soft water. When hard water and soap are mixed together the salts of the minerals like Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions present in hard water react with fatty acids of the soap.

The sodium salts are changed to the salts of calcium and magnesium which are precipitated to an insoluble substance. The insoluble salts of the calcium or magnesium dirt stick on the clothes thus cleaning ability of soap is reduced.

The concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution can be determined by
max2010maxim [7]

The question is incomplete, the complete reaction equation is;

The concentration of a hydrogen peroxide solution can be determined by titration

with acidified potassium manganate(VII) solution. In this reaction the hydrogen

peroxide is oxidised to oxygen gas.

A 5.00 cm3 sample of the hydrogen peroxide solution was added to a volumetric flask

and made up to 250 cm3 of aqueous solution. A 25.0 cm3 sample of this diluted

solution was acidified and reacted completely with 24.35 cm3 of 0.0187 mol dm–3

potassium manganate(VII) solution.

Write an equation for the reaction between acidified potassium manganate(VII)

solution and hydrogen peroxide.

Use this equation and the results given to calculate a value for the concentration,

in mol dm–3, of the original hydrogen peroxide solution.

(If you have been unable to write an equation for this reaction you may assume that

3 mol of KMnO4 react with 7 mol of H2O2. This is not the correct reacting ratio.)

Answer:

2.275 M

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2 MnO4^-(aq) + 16 H^+(aq) + 5H2O2(aq) -------> 2Mn^+(aq) + 10H^+ (aq) + 8H2O(l)

Let;

CA= concentration of MnO4^- =  0.0187 mol dm–3

CB = concentration of H2O2 = ?

VA = volume of MnO4^- = 24.35 cm3

VB = volume of H2O2 = 25.0 cm3

NA = number of moles of  MnO4^- = 2

NB = number of moles of H2O2 = 5

From;

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CAVANB = CBVBNA

CB = CAVANB/VBNA

CB = 0.0187 * 24.35 * 5/25.0 * 2

CB = 0.0455 M

Since  

C1V1 = C2V2

C1 = initial concentration of H2O2 solution = ?

V1 = initial volume of H2O2 solution =  5.0 cm3

C2 = final concentration of H2O2 solution= 0.0455 M

V2 = final volume of H2O2 solution = 250 cm3

C1 = C2V2/V1

C1 = 0.0455 * 250/5

C1 = 2.275 M

Determine whether each carbohydrate is best described as a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, or a polysaccharide
vazorg [7]

Answer options from an alternative source

  • fructose                              
  • lactose                              
  • starch
  • glucose                                                                            
  • cellulose

Answer:

  • fructose -monosaccharide                              
  • lactose  - disaccharide                            
  • starch  - polysaccharide
  • glucose - monosaccharide                                                                          
  • cellulose - polysaccharide

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are carbohydrates that are the simplest form of a sugar. They cannot be further broken down into smaller carbohydrates, and represent the basic building block for carbohydrates. Monosaccharides can form disaccharides, which are the sugar formed when two monosaccharides join together, or polysaccharides, which are chains of monosaccharides.

The decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide has an activation energy of 102 kj/mol and \delta ? h°rxn = + 55 kj/mol. what is the
posledela
A positive cahnge of enthalpy, ΔH rxn = + 55 kJ/mol, for the forward reaction means that the reaction is endothermic, i.e. the reactants absorb energy and the products are higher in energy.

Activation energy is the difference in the energy level of the reactants and the peak in the potential energy diagram (the energy of the transition state).

For an endothermic reaction, the products will be closer in energy to the transition state than what the reactans will be; so, the activation energy of the reversed reaction is lower than the activation energy of the forward reaction.

Activation energy of reverse and forward reactions is related by:

Activation energy of reverse rxn = Activation energy of forward rxn - ΔH rxn

=> Activiation energy of reverse rxn = 102 kJ/mol - 55 kJ/mol = 47 kJ/mol

Answer: 47 kJ/mol
