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.

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is a. Selenium (Se).

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the given answer options, Selenium (Se) is the only element which is a non metal.

It has the atomic number 34 with atomic weight 78.96. It is a member of the sulfur group of the non metallic elements and falls in period 4 of the Periodic table.

A hypothetical covalent molecule, X–Y, has a dipole moment of 1.93 1.93 D and a bond length of 109 pm. 109 pm. Calculate the par
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

q= 110.5 ke

Explanation:

Dipole moment is the product of the separation of the ends of a dipole and the magnitude of the charges.

μ = q * d

μ= Dipole moment (1.93 D)

q= partial charge on each pole

d= separation between the poles(109 pm).

e= electronic charge ( 1.60217662 × 10⁻¹⁹ coulombs)

So,

q= \frac{1.93}{109 * 10^{-12} } coulombs

q = \frac{1.93}{109 * 10^{-12} *  1.60217662 * 10^{-19} } e

q = 1.105 * 10⁵ e

q= 110.5 ke

Which of the following are held together by nonpolar covalent bonds?
DaniilM [7]
The atoms of chlorine are held together by non-polar covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed between two or more atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference. For homonuclear molecules where the two bonding atom are of the same kind, the electronegativity difference is zero.
