Explanation:

Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) is the common name for ammonium dodecyl sulfate (CH3(CH2)10CH2OSO3NH4). The anion consists of a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and a polar sulfate end group. The combination of nonpolar and polar groups confers surfactant properties to the anion: it facilitates the dissolution of both polar and non-polar materials. ALS is classified as a sulfate ester. It is found primarily in shampoos and body wash as a foaming agent. Lauryl sulfates are very high-foam surfactants that disrupt the surface tension of water in part by forming micelles at the surface-air interface.

How many grams of sodium sulfide can be produced when 45.3 g Na react with 105 g S?
erastova [34]
Balance the equation: 2Na + S --> Na2S
Using the given amount of the reactants in the reaction, calculate the amount of the product:
45.3g Na x (1 mol/22.99 g)= 1.97 mol of Na
105f S x (1 mol/ 32.06g) = 3.28 mol of S
The limiting reactant would be Na:
<span>1.97 mol Na x (1 mol Na2S/ 2 mol Na) x (78.04g/mol) = 76.87g of Na2S produced</span>

Gala2k [10]

2.2 x 10^-2

0.055 / 250 = 0.00022 - This would be 2.2 x 10^-4, but the question is asking for percent, not proportion, so multiply by 100% to get the percentage.

0.00022 * 100% = 0.022% = 2.2 * 10^-2

In two or more complete sentences, develop a logical argument to either support or refute the following statement. Be sure to pr
Yuri [45]

We use logic every day to figure out test questions, plan our budgets, and decide who to date. We borrow from the vocabulary of logic when we say, "Brilliant deduction" or even "I don't want to argue about it." In the study of logic, however, each of these terms has a specific definition, and we must be clear on these if we are to communicate.

Vocabulary

Proposition --

T or F in an argument, but not alone. Can be a premise or conclusion. Is not equal to a sentence.

Premise --

Proposition used as evidence in an argument.

Conclusion --

Proposition used as a thesis in an argument.

Argument --

A group of propositions of which one is claimed to follow from the others.

Induction --

A process through which the premises provide some basis for the conclusion

Deduction --

A process through which the premises provide conclusive proof for the conclusion.

When dealing with persuasive writing, it will be helpful for you to outline the argument by premises and conclusions. By looking at the structure of the argument, it is easy to spot logical error.

Universities are full of knowledge. The freshmen bring a little in, and the seniors take none away, and knowledge accumulates.

Premise 2

Premise 3

Conclusion Freshmen bring a little (knowledge) in

Seniors take none away

Knowledge accumulates

Example 2

(Here, the conclusion of one argument is used as a premise in another. This is very common.)

Even though there may be a deceiver of some sort, very powerful and very tricky, who bends all his efforts to keep me perpetually deceived, there can be no slightest doubt that I exist, since he deceives me; and let him deceive me as much as he will, he can never make me be nothing as long as I think I am something. Thus, after having thought well on this matter, and after examining all things with care, I must finally conclude and maintain that this proposition: I am, I exist, is necessarily true every time that I pronounce it or conceive it in my mind.

-- Rene Descartes, *Meditations*

Argument 1 Premise 1:

Conclusion of Argument 1

Argument 2 Premise 1:

Conclusion:

To be deceived ... I must exist

When I think that I exist I cannot be  

deceived about that

I am, I exist, is necessarily true ... .

3. The citizen who so values his "independence" that he will not enroll in a political party is really forfeiting independence, because he abandons a share in decision©making at the primary level: the choice of the candidate.

Reaching Logical Conclusions

This article is reprinted from pages 78-79 of Pearson-Allen: Modern Algebra , Book One. In the book it is one of several between-chapter articles that add interest and provike thought on subjects related to the topics discussed in the text.

Consider the two statements:

1. Any member of a varsity squad is excused from physical education.

2. Henry is a member of the varsity football squad.

Our common sense tells us that if we accept these two statement as true, then we must accept the following third statement as true:

3. Henry is excused from physical education.

We say that the third statement follows logically from the other two.

In drawing logical conclusions it does not matter whether the statements we accept as true are reasonable or sensible. This is because we depend entirely upon the form of the statements and not upon what we are talking about. Thus, if we accept the following statements as true:

1. All whales are mammals;  

2. All mammals are warm-blooded animals;  

3. All warm-blooded animals are subject to colds;

then we must conclude that
