Answer:
The correct option is A. The salt is more soluble in water since it can form stronger ion-dipole interactions not available to the fatty acid.
Explanation:
An ion-dipole interaction occurs when an ionic compound is placed in a polar solvent. As salts are ionic compounds and water is a polar solvent, so the fatty acid salts will be able to form electrostatic ion-dipole interactions with the polar water molecules. These interactions will cause fatty acid salts to dissolve in water.
The fatty acid is not an ionic compound and will not form the ion-dipole interactions with the water molecules. Hence, fatty acids will be less soluble in water.
Answer:
A. Rock fragments are layered and pressurized over time.
Explanation:
Sedimentary rocks are derived from pre-existing rocks that have been subjected to agents of denudation, weathered, transported and deposited within a basin.
In the basin, the sediments are accumulated in their final resting position.
- Sediments are accumulated as layers on top of one another.
- The pressure of the sediment on top of another forces out water and presses the layers into sheets.
- Over time, the compression leads to lithification of the rock.
- During lithification, compaction and cementation occurs.
Answer:
The molar mass of MgCI2 is 95.211 g/mol
Explanation: A river drainage basin is an area drained by a river and all of its tributaries. A river basin is made up of many different watersheds. A watershed is a small version of a river basin. Every stream and tributary has its own watershed, which drains to a larger stream or wetland.
