Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.59P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Why metal ions in hard water do not bind with sulfate portion of detergents as strongly as they do bond with carboxylate portion of soap is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Soaps are fatty acid carboxylates having ionic head group at one end which form ionic bond by induced dipole-induced dipole interaction and ion dipole interaction.

Zn(s) 2HCI(aq)ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) Zinc + Hydrochloric Acid Zinc Chloride + Hydrogen What causes the reaction to proceed faster with concentrated acid? The concentrated hydrochloric acid causes more hydrogen gas to be produced. The pressure of hydrogen gas molecules increases as concentration increases. The concentrated hydrochloric acid molecules move faster than in dilute acid. There are more collisions between the zinc and concentrated hydrochloric acid. PREVIOUarrow_forward
