Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 69E
Soaps consist of compounds such as sodium state, CH3(CH2)16COO-Na+, that have both hydrophilic parts. Consider the hydrocarbon part of sodium stearate to be the “tail” and the charged part to be the “head.”
a. Which part of sodium stearate, head or tail, is more likely to be solvated by water?
b. Grease is a complex mixture of (mostly) hydrophobic compounds. Which part of sodium stearate, head or tail, is most likely to bind to grease?
c. If you have large deposits of grease that you want to wash away with water, you can see that adding sodium stearate will help you produce an emulsion. What intermolecular interactions are responsible for this?

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for this purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water, by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 200. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water. (An advantage of CaCl2 is that it acts more quickly because it is hygroscopic, that is. it absorbs moisture from the air to give a solution and begin the process. A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.)arrow_forward
- The organic salt [(C4H9)4N][ClO4] consists of the ions (C4H9)4N+ and ClO4. The salt dissolves in chloroform. What mass (in grams) of the salt must have been dissolved if the boiling point of a solution of the salt in 25.0 g chloroform is 63.20 C? The normal boiling point of chloroform is 61.70 C and Kb = 3.63 C kg mol1. Assume that the salt dissociates completely into its ions in solution.arrow_forwardIn Exercise 96 in Chapter 8, the pressure of CO2 in a bottle of sparkling wine was calculated assuming that the CO2 was insoluble in water. This was a bad assumption. Redo this problem by assuming that CO2 obeys Henry s law. Use the data given in that problem to calculate the partial pressure of CO2 in the gas phase and the solubility of CO2 in the wine at 25C. The Henrys law constant for CO2 is 3.1 w2 mol/L atm at 25C with Henrys law in the form C = kP, where C is the concentration of the gas in mol/L.arrow_forward
