Briefly describe the action of hardwater with soap​

Chemistry
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 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.

How are the excited electrons from stage 1 used in stage 2 of photosynthesis? A. Splitting of water b. Carbon fixation c. Format
Gnom [1K]

Answer;

D. Formation of NADPH

Explanation;

During the process of photosynthesis light is converted to chemical energy.

During stage 1, Excited electrons that leave the chlorophyll pigments in stage 1 are used. Excited electrons are passed through proteins in the thylakoid membrane like a ball being passed from person to person. H2o molecules split and turn into H+ molecules and O2 gas, then pigments take the electrons from the split water molecules and release O2 into the atmosphere.

During stage 2; electrons from 1st cluster pump H+ ions into the thylakoid membrane through the hydrogen ion pump (protein membrane. Higher concentration of H+ ions inside the thylakoid membrane compared to outside. H+ ions diffuse out of the thylakoid throught the ATP synthase (enzyme in membrane). ATP synthase catalyzes the reaction ADP + P ---->ATP.

Stage 2; Excited electrons + H+ ions + NADP+= NADPH
