What causes a substance to be hydrophobic?

Chemistry
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
5 0
The hydrophobic effect is caused by nonpolar molecules clumping together. Large macromolecules can have hydrophobic sections, which will fold the molecule so they can be close to each other, away from water. Many amino acids in proteins are hydrophobic, helping the proteins obtain their complicated shapes. The hydrophobic effect extends to organisms, as many hydrophobic molecules on the surface of an organisms help them regulate the amount of water and nutrients in their systems.

B. The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2H2(g) + S2(g) 2H2S(g) is Keq = . (3 points)
eimsori [14]

Answer:

i. Keq=4157.99.

ii. More hydrogen sulfide will be produced.

Explanation:

Hello,

i. In this case, for the concentrations at equilibrium on the given chemical reaction, the equilibrium constant results:

Keq=\frac{[H_2S]^2}{[H_2]^2[S_2]} =\frac{(0.97M)^2}{(0.051M)^2(0.087)} =4157.99

ii. Now, by means of the Le Chatelier's principle, the addition of a reactant shifts the reaction towards products, it means that more hydrogen sulfide will be produced in order to reach equilibrium.

Best regards.

An atom has 32 protons, 40 neutrons, and 32 electrons. What is the charge of the atom’s nucleus?
eimsori [14]
The charge is neutral.

To find the charge, subtract the number of electrons from the number of protons. Because they are the same, there is no charge.

Calculate the number of C atoms in 0.190 mole C6H14O.<br> can anyone help me on this one?
likoan [24]
In 0.190 mole of C6H14O, there is 0.190*6 (number of C in one molecule) = 1.140 mole of C atoms. The total number of C atoms = 1.14 * 6*10^{23} (atoms of C in one mole) = 6.84*10^{23} atoms.
