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.

Serga [27]

C. quadruples the rate

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The rate law :

R=k[A]²

Required

The rate

Solution

There are several factors that influence reaction kinetics :  

  • 1. Concentration  
  • 2. Surface area  
  • 3. Temperature  
  • 4. Catalyst  
  • 5. Pressure  
  • 6. Stirring  

The rate is proportional to the concentration.

If the concentration increased, the reaction rate will increase

The reaction is second-order overall(The exponent is 2)

The concentration of A is doubled, the reaction rate will increase :

r = k[A]² ⇒ r= k[2A]²⇒r=4k[A]²

<em>The reaction rate will quadruple.</em>
