What purpose does ammonium lauryl sulfate serve when used as a surfactant? Where is it commonly used?

Which statement best explains the relationship between an area is geography and the temperature of its surface water

Acalorimeter is to be calibrated: 51.203 g of water at 55.2 degree c is added to a calorimeter containing 49.783 g of water at 23.5c. after stirring and waiting for the system to equilibrate, the final temperature reached is 37.6 degree c. specific heat capacity of water (s = 4.18 j/g∙degree c). calculate the calorimeter constant. (smδt)warm water = -[(smδt)cold water + (calorimeterδtcold water)]

4.25g sample of solid ammonium nitrate dissolves in 60.0g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature drops from 22.0 c to 16.9 c. assume that the specific heat of the solution is the same as that of pure water. calculate delta(h) (in kj/mol nh4no3) for the solution proces.
