See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

3. In this case, according to the given question, it turns out possible for us to say that any chemical formula, for an ionic compound, has the cation (positive) on the left and the anion (negative) on the right; thus, since Mg is a metal, which tends to lose electrons and become positively charged whereas the Cl is a nonmetal, which tends to gain electrons and become negatively charged, we have the following:

$Mg^{2+}Cl^-\\\\Mg^{2+}Cl^-_2\\\\MgCl_2$

4. In this case, since lithium is a metal, as well as magnesium, it is not possible for them to switch around their charges as they will not be bonded because they will be repelled rather than attracted because of their equal positive charges.

Regards!

Describes two uses of surfactants at least one must be something that was not described in the passage

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

We don't have the passage. A random sampling of surfactant uses includes:

removal of oily materials from objects (clothes and dishes)
forms remarkable structures called bubbles
Assists in forming emulsions (e.g., mayonaise and paints)

Explanation:

The structure of a surfactant makes one end of a molecule hydrophilic and the other end hydrophobic. In water, they self-assemble into micelles, an arrangement in which the hydrophobic ends align towards the center, and the hydrophilic ends are pointed outwards to the water. This self-assembly is apparant when bubbles are made. The molecules quickly align themselves such that the hyrophilic ends are oriented inwards towards a thin layer of water and the hydrophobic ends are pointed outward to the air. This arrangement allows a mono-molecular sphere of water molecules to remain stable enough to float, reflect light, and please. These same properties allow the inverse to occur. Soap molecules surround a hydrophobic mass (e.g., the hamburger grease on your shirt) and solubilize it into small micelles which are then carried away in the surrounding water.
