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.

What examples does<br> - Making Materials<br> - Moving Materials<br> - Removing Waste
Sidana [21]

Answer:

You remove waste as a gas (carbon dioxide), as a liquid (urine and sweat), and as a solid. Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. Recall that carbon dioxide travels through the blood and is transferred to the lungs where it is exhaled

Moving Materials include aluminum foil tape, shipping tape, box tape and duct tape. Moving labels take the guesswork out of the moving process.

Which of the following pure liquids is the best solvent for sodium fluoride?a. CCl4b. C2C6c. HCld. BCl3e. PCl5
Julli [10]

Answer:

HCl

Explanation:

The best solvent for NaF is a polar liquid. The only liquid having a significant dipole moment among the options is HCl due to the large electro negativity difference between hydrogen and chlorine.

The polar solvent can interact with the NaF via its dipoles such that the NaF dissolves due to ion-dipole interaction.

Question 4 (1 point)<br> If you have exactly one million atoms how many moles do you have?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

                       1.66 × 10⁻¹⁸  Moles

Explanation:

                     As we know one mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (atoms, ions, molecules or formula units). This number is also called as Avogadro's Number.

The relation between Moles, Number of Atoms and Avogadro's Number is given as,

             Number of Moles  =  Number of Atoms ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms/mol

Putting values,

              Number of Moles  =  1.0 × 10⁶ Atoms ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms/mol

              Number of Moles  =  1.66 × 10⁻¹⁸  Moles
