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 oxidation number of NH4OH?
BlackZzzverrR [31]
NH4 itself is called ammonium ion with positive charge of 1+. hence the oxidation state will be +1

OH itself is called hydroxide ion with negative charge of 1-. hence the oxidation state will be -1

there's actually no such compound as stated in your chemical formula. although it's simply called ammonium hydroxide by looking at the chemical formula, in fact the compound should rightly be called as aqueous ammonia with chemical formula of NH3 (aq). this is because the ammonia molecule will ionise due to the presence of water molecule to be protonated, hence forming ammonium ion and hydroxide ion in the solution.
