There are quite a few ways to add moisture into the air without a humidifier

A few things that can help add moisture are hanging your clothing to dry. hang drying your damp clothes will add moisture to the air over time as it evaporates and it will make your house smell like fresh clothes.

Another thing is a bath, allow the water to cool off and leave the bathroom door open, the steam will add moisture to the air as the water cools.

This might seem silly but putting bowls or vases of water out on the windowsill on a sunny day mill moistens the air as it evaporates.

You can also get houseplants, moisture evaporates from the leaves and stems of plants. transpiration can help increase the humidity in your home.

not sure if this is the answer you were looking for but if so im glad i could help. have a great day!

2.The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital
3.Group 2 elements share common characteristics. Each metal is naturally occurring and quite reactive.
4.There are 18 numbered groups in the periodic table

Now suppose, instead, that 5.678 g of a volatile solute is dissolved in 150.0 g of water. This solute also does not react with w

n200080 [17]

Answer:

59.9 g/mol is the molar mass for the solute

Explanation:

Lowering vapor pressure → ΔP = P° . Xm

P° → Vapor pressure of pure solvent

ΔP = P° - Vapor pressure of solution

Xm = Mole fraction of solute

17.54 Torr - 17.344 Torr = 17.54 Torr . Xm

0.196 Torr / 17.54 Torr = Xm → 0.0112

These are the moles of solute / Total moles

Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

We determine the moles of solvent → 150 g . 1mol/ 18 g = 8.33 moles

Now we can make this equation:

0.0112 = Moles of solute / Moles of solute + 8.33 mol

0.0112 Moles of solute + 0.0933 = Moles of solute

0.0933 = Moles of solute - 0.0112 Moles of solute

0.0933 = 0.9888 moles of solute → 0.0933 / 0.9888 = 0.0947 moles

Finally we can determine the molar mass (mol/g)

5.678 g / 0.0947 mol = 59.9 g/mol

What purpose does ammonia lauryl sulfate serve as a surfactor

Alborosie

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonium lauryl sulfate has the structural formula CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OSO₂O⁻ NH₄⁺.

The long nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and the ionic sulfate end group make it a surfactant.

The ionic end tends to dissolve in water, but the nonpolar chain does not. This makes the compound an excellent foaming agent, so it is used in many shampoos and toothpastes.

The molecules form micelles in water, small spherical shapes with the polar heads outside, facing the water, and the nonpolar tails are inside.

They reduce the surface tension or the water so that, when you brush your teeth or shampoo your hair, the air bubbles are stable and do not break.

Calculate the molar mass of iron(III) sulfide. Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 and include units to receive credit.

Igoryamba

Answer:

207.89g

Explanation:

The formula of the compound is:

Fe₂S₃

Find the molar mass of the compound;

Atomic mass of Fe = 55.845g/mol

S = 32.065g/mol

Now;

Molar mass of Fe₂S₃ = 2 (55.845) + 3 (32.065)

= 207.89g

The surface tension of which of the following liquid is maximum?

Elden [556K]

The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension. I think the correct answer is option A. H2O will have the highest surface tension due to the hydrogen bonds that are present. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
