Why do the oil and vinegar separate into layers when they are stirred together, but completely mix when lecithin is stirred in?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Vinegar and oil have different densities, as such we expect the two substances to separate when mixed. However, oil constitutes the organic phase(water insoluble) while vinegar constituents the aqueous phase since it is water soluble.  Therefore, the two substances separate into layers when left to stand for a while.

The structure of lecithin makes it a good emulsifier. Hence, it can be able to cause oil and vinegar to mix, constituting a single phase when lecithin is stirred in.

URGENT!!! What is the balanced form of this equation?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Explanation: This is a reaction of oxidation of H_2O_2 in the presence of acidified KMnO_4. Acidified KMnO_4 is a strong oxidizing agent.

To balance out the H^+ on the reactant side, we write H_2O on the product side.

Balancing out the following reaction gives us:

2MnO_4^-+6H^++5H_2O_2\rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+8H_2O+5O_2

How many moles of BaSO4 are formed if 0.5 moles of Na2 SO4 react with 60 g of BaCl2? Na2 SO4 + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl
faust18 [17]
<span>the balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na</span>₂<span>SO</span>₄<span> + BaCl</span>₂<span> ----> 2NaCl + BaSO</span>₄ 
<span>stoichiometry of Na</span>₂<span>SO</span>₄<span> to BaCl</span>₂<span> is 1:1
first we need to find out which the limiting reactant is
limiting reactant is fully used up in the reaction.
                                                                           
number of Na2So4 moles - 0.5 mol number of BaCl2 moles - 60 g / 208 g/mol = 0.288 mol
since molar ratio is 1:1 equal number of moles of both reactants should react with each other
                                                                         
therefore BaCl2 is the limiting reactant and Na2SO4 is in excess. amount of product formed depends on number of limiting reactant present.
stoichiometry of BaCl</span>₂<span> to BaSO</span>₄<span> is 1:1.
                                                                           
therefore number of BaSO4 moles formed - 0.288 mol</span>
