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.

What is the volume if density of gold is 19.3g/ml and sand is 2.3g/ml with 1L of volume?
malfutka [58]
Use the volume and density of the gold statue to calculate the mass of the statue.
density = mass / volume, or rearranged, mass = density • volume
Convert the volume of the statue from L to mL so volume unit agrees with density unit
mass of statue = 19.3 g/mL • 1000 mL = 19 300 g

Mass of sand must be same as the mass of the statue, 19 300 g
Use the mass and density of the sand to calculate the volume of sand needed
density = mass / volume, or rearranged, volume = mass / density
volume of sand needed = 19 300 g / 23 g/mL = 8391 mL or 8.391 L

1b
Calculate the density of the statue from the measured mass and volume. If the calculated density agrees with the known density of gold, then the statue is made from pure gold.

density = mass / volume
Convert the mass from kg to g as you want the answer in g/mL so you can compare it to the reference value of gold given in the problem. 16.5 kg • 1000 g / 1 kg = 16 500 g
density of the statue = 16 500 g / 954 mL = 17.3 g/mL

Since this density, 17.3 g/mL is significantly different from the known density of gold, 19.3 g/mL, the statue cannot be made of pure gold. The gold was mixed with a less dense metal.

3)<br> How many atoms are in 14 moles of cadmium?
andre [41]

Answer:

8.4322\times10^{24} atoms atoms are in 14 moles of cadmium.

Explanation:

Cadmium is a white and  silvery  metal  that is found in the curst of the earth.During the  production process of metals such as lead, copper, zinc, cadmium is extracted

Cadmium is present in some foods and is emitted when fossil fuels like as coal and oil is used, smoking cigarettes. It is used in craft glazes, metal batteries, and coatings.

We know that 1 mole of  Cadmium (Cd contains) 6.023*1023 atoms, which is Avogadro's number.

So in 14 Grams of Cadmium, the number of atoms present is,

=>14×number atoms present in one cadmium atom

=>14\times 6.023\times10^{23}

=>8.4322\times10^{24} atoms
