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.

Acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4) is a monoprotic acid commonly known as aspirin. A typical aspirin tablet, however, contains only a
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

6 grains

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction between NaOH and aspirin is;

C9H8O4(aq) + NaOH (aq) ------>C9H7O4Na(aq) + H2O(l)

Amount of NaOH reacted = concentration × volume = 0.1466 M × 14.40/1000 L = 2.11 × 10^-3 moles

Given that aspirin and NaOH react in a mole ratio of 1:1 from the balanced reaction equation above, the number of moles of aspirin reacted is 2.11 × 10^-3 moles

Hence mass of aspirin reacted = 2.11 × 10^-3 moles × 180.2 g/mol = 0.38 g

If 1 grain = 0.0648 g

x grains = 0.38 g

x= 0.38 g/0.0648 g

x= 6 grains

12. How much mass is in a 3.25-mole sample of NH 4 OH? A. 10.8 g B. 34.0 g C. 35.1 g D. 114 g
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

D. 114 g

Explanation:

  • NH4OH molecular weight. Molar mass of NH4OH = 35.0458 g/mol This compound is also known as Ammonium Hydroxide.
  • Convert grams NH4OH to moles or moles NH4OH to grams. Molecular weight calculation: 14.0067 + 1.00794*4 + 15.9994 + 1.00794.
