They can still be effected it large quantities of soap are added to water

because more soap eliminates the effect the minerals in hard water has on

its cleaning capacity.

Hard water contains minerals such as

  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Iron etc.

They reduce the cleaning capacity of the soap. This is why soft water is

preferably used as it doesn't contain these minerals.

When more soap is added, the effect of the minerals reduces thereby

bringing about very little or no effect on the cleaning capacity of the soap.

Explanation:

Ordinary water does not remove dirt from clothes or skin because the dirt present is oily or greasy in nature. Soaps are one of the most commonly used cleansing agents and are capable of reacting with water to remove dirt. They are either animal origin or plant in origin.

Chemically, they are water soluble sodium or potassium salts of higher fatty acids such as stearic acid, palmitic acid or oleic acid. Fatty acids are found in fats and oils. When fat or oil is treated with alkali such as caustic soda or caustic potash soap and glycerin are produced.

Unstable elements tend to combine with other elements to form
prisoha [69]

Answer: Compounds.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed when an unstable element combines with other elements, they do this by sharing electrons within their outmost shell. Compounds forms when there is a chemical bonding between two or more elements. Examples of compounds includes carbon dioxide (C, O) water (H and O), Sodium chloride (Na, Cl), methane, etc.

IRISSAK [1]

The kidneys will excrete increased quantities of acid.

Explanation:

The kidneys will excrete excess H+ ions in the blood (remember H+ ions are responsible for acidity) until the acid-base balance is restored in the blood. Bicarbonates, on the other hand, will be aggressively  reabsorbed by the renal tubules as the excess H+ are being excreted.

The acid base balance is mainly determined by the quantities of H⁺ and HCO₃⁻ ions in teh blood. These ions come from the dissociation of carbonic acid formed when carbon dioxide from tissues is dissolved in blood plasma.

Hi guys, my question is:
guapka [62]

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

A) The rate law can only be on the reactant side and you can only determine it after you get the net ionic equation because of spectators cancelling out. So in this case the rate law is k=[CH3Br]^1 [OH-]^1. The powers are there because the rxn is first order.  

B) Since the rxn is first order anything you do to it will be the exact same "counter rxn" per say so since you are decreasing the OH- by 5 the rate will decease by 5

C) The rate will increase by 4 since you are doubling both you have to multiply them both.

Answer:

<u>True</u>

Explanation:

|ndeed,  Psychologist Abraham Maslow's sought to describe hierarchy in which the average (or most) humans place their needs. In other words, he believes we as humans have basic needs which we long to satisfy.

On the ranking or hierarchy, according to Maslow the need humans satisfy first is their physiological need. Here's the full hierarchy:

Physiological Needs

↓

Safety Needs

Uranium has atomic number 92. Its most common isotope is 238U, but the form used in nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants is 23
Yakvenalex [24]

Explanation:

Atomic Number = Number of protons

Mass Number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Isotopes are simply atoms of an element with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.

First Isotope -- 238U

Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

Number of neutrons =  238 - 92 = 146

Second Isotope -- 235U

Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

Number of neutrons =  235 - 92 = 143
