Describes two uses of surfactants at least one must be something that was not described in the passage

Chemistry

Morgarella [4.7K]2 years ago

Answer:

We don't have the passage.  A random sampling of surfactant uses includes:

  • removal of oily materials from objects (clothes and dishes)
  • forms remarkable structures called bubbles
  • Assists in forming emulsions (e.g., mayonaise and paints)

Explanation:

The structure of a surfactant makes one end of a molecule hydrophilic and the other end hydrophobic.  In water, they self-assemble into micelles, an arrangement in which the hydrophobic ends align towards the center, and the hydrophilic ends are pointed outwards to the water.  This self-assembly is apparant when bubbles are made.  The  molecules quickly align themselves such that the hyrophilic ends are oriented inwards towards a thin layer of water and the hydrophobic ends are pointed outward to the air.  This arrangement allows a mono-molecular sphere of water molecules to remain stable enough to float, reflect light, and please.  These same properties allow the inverse to occur.  Soap molecules surround a hydrophobic mass (e.g., the hamburger grease on your shirt) and solubilize it into small micelles which are then carried away in the surrounding water.

A 1.24g sample of a hydrocarbon, when completely burned in an excess of O2 yields 4.04g Co2 and 1.24g H20. Draw plausible struct
arsen [322]

Answer:

Plausible structure has been given below

Explanation:

  • Molar mass of CO_{2} is 44 g/mol and molar mass of H_{2}O is 18 g/mol
  • Number of mole = (mass/molar mass)

4.04 g of CO_{2} = \frac{4.04}{44}moles CO_{2} = 0.0918 moles of CO_{2}

1 mol of CO_{2} contains 1 mol of C atom

So, 0.0918 moles of CO_{2} contains 0.0918 moles of C atom

1.24 g of H_{2}O = \frac{1.24}{18}moles H_{2}O = 0.0689 moles of H_{2}O

1 mol of H_{2}O  contain 2 moles of H atom

So, 0.0689 moles of H_{2}O contain (2\times 0.0689)moles of H_{2}O or 0.138 moles of H_{2}O

Moles of C : moles of H = 0.0918 : 0.138 = 2 : 3

Empirical formula of hydrocarbon is C_{2}H_{3}

So, molecular formula of one of it's analog is C_{4}H_{6}

Plausible structure of C_{4}H_{6} has been given below.

A student dropped a piece of nickel metal into a solution of HCl(aq). He observed the formation of gas bubbles and collected the
omeli [17]

Answer:

a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

Explanation:

It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.

But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

$Ni + HCl(aq) = NiCl + H_2$

Thus the correct option is (a).

What compound was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by cyanobacteria and iron?
castortr0y [4]
The compound that was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by Cyanobacteria and iron are the metals of the earths crust. Cyanobacteria was the first organisms that used water instead of hydrogen sulfide or other compounds as a source of electrons and hydrogen for fixing carbon dioxide. Early Cyanobacteria inhabited marine sediments where Archean banded iron formations were deposited; consisting of reddish layers rich in iron oxide.
