Why is soap used to remove grease? a. its nonpolar end dissolves the grease. b. it makes the water bond with the grease. c. it chemically bonds with the grease. d. its polar end dissolves the grease.correct answer for apex - a, its nonpolar end dissolves the grease.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

Be sure to answer all parts. the following equilibrium constants were determined at 1123 k: c(s) + co2(g) ⇌ 2co(g) k'p = 1.30 × 1014 co(g) + cl2(g) ⇌ cocl2(g) k''p = 6.00 × 10−3 calculate the equilibrium constant at 1123 k for the reaction: c(s) + co2(g) + 2cl2(g) ⇌ 2cocl2(g) 4.68 × 10 9 (enter your answer in scientific notation.) write the equilibrium constant expression, kp:
