What are some chemical and physical properties of soap (saponification) please help it’s very urgent!

Chemistry
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Soaps are sodium or potassium fatty acids salts, produced from the hydrolysis of fats in a chemical reaction called saponification. Each soap molecule has a long hydrocarbon chain, sometimes called its 'tail', with a carboxylate 'head'.

Explanation: Saponification is an exothermic chemical reaction—which means that it gives off heat—that occurs when fats or oils (fatty acids) come into contact with lye, a base. In this reaction, the triglyceride units of fats react with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide and are converted to soap and glycerol.

A hydrogen atom is in the 2p state. determine the possible values of its magnetic quantum number m
Aneli [31]
There are four quantum numbers: the n, l, m and ms. When the orbital is 2p, it means that n=2 and l = 1. The n number takes the whole number before the sub-orbitals. Then, the designation for the p orbital is l=1. Now, the possible values if m is a range from -l to l. H<em>ence, in this case, that would be: -1, 0, 1.</em>

If an equal number of moles of the weak acid HF and the strong base KOH are added to water, is the resulting solution acidic, ba
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Being a weak acid and a strong base, where it is diluted in a neutral medium such as water, the basic medium predominates, almost alkaline pH.

Explanation:

The acidity of the solution, being weak, means that its pH is not so low, therefore it will be easier to reach the values of 7 or 7 where alkalinity or basity is indicated.

Why are clay minerals used in pottery making or the characteristics that made them use in it I will Will make u brainiest
swat32

Clay is used in pottery for its ability to be manipulated by the bare hands of humans, and it dries very quickly. Since you dont need a lot of equipment, it was a high paying job back in the old times. An advantage of clay that it can keep the water cool for a long time  as long as you cover the container.

Another advantage is that clay doesnt react with the liquids or food inside when heat is applied ( Unlike plastic)

OleMash [197]

Answer:

ΔH = - 44.0kJ

Explanation:

H2O(l)→H2O(g), ΔH =44.0kJ

In the reaction above, liquid water changes to gaseous water. This occurs through a process known as boiling. This process requires heat, hence the ΔH  is positive.

If he reaction is reversed, we have;

H2O(g)→H2O(l)

In this reaction, gaseous water changes to liquid water. This process is known as condensation. The water vapor loses heat in this reaction. Hence ΔH would be negative but still  have the same value.
