Answer:

"Soaps are made from natural ingredients, such as plant oils (coconut, vegetable, palm, pine) or acids derived from animal fat. Detergents, on the other hand, are synthetic, man-made derivatives. While soap is limited in its applications, detergents can be formulated to include other ingredients for all sorts of cleaning purposes. Perhaps the most common and versatile of these ingredients are surfactants … surface active agents.

The main difference between soap and detergent is the ingredients. Soaps are made with biodegradable ingredients such as oils, lye and fats. ... Both clean clothes well, but detergents are more effective on stains and with brightening clothes. However, soap is kinder on the environment and skin. "

Hope this helps

What is the correct equilibrium constant expression for the following heterogeneous equilibrium? 4HCl (g) + O2 (g) ⇄ 2H2O (l) +

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

$Kc=[Cl2]2/[HCl]4[O2]$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the law of mass action, allows us to study the mathematical expression regarding an equilibrium chemical reaction allowing us to see a relationship between the equilibrium constant and the concentration of both the products and reactants at equilibrium for either gaseous or aqueous substances only. Such relationship is assembled as the quotient between the concentration of products at equilibrium over the concentration of reactants at equilibrium equaling the equilibrium constant. Thus, for the given chemical reaction, such expression will have the concentration of chlorine at the numerator and both the concentrations of hydrogen chloride and oxygen at the denominator since water is liquid so it is not included in the shown below equation:

$Kc=\frac{[Cl]^2}{[HCl]^4[O_2]}$
