4. The Marangoni effect is the tendency of a material to move from a region of low surface tension to a region of high surface tension. Using your chemical knowledge, explain how the surfactant changed surface tension to propel your boat forward. Because we added soap to the bottom of our clip, the surface tension was low in that area only, causing it to move to another spot because...

John was using sodium decyl sulfate as a surfactant at a concentration of 18 mM for reducing the surface tension of his system by about 25 dynes/cm. For cost reasons, he was told to replace sodium decyl sulfate with sodium dodecyl sulfate as the surfactant. Which of the following concentrations will give equivalent surface tension reduction using the sodium dodecyl sulfate in his formulation? 54 mM 6 mM 15 mM 2 mM

Which polymer would you expect to have a higher viscosity at room temperature: isotactic-polypropylene (i-PP) or atactic-polypropylene (a-PP)? Explain and support your answer in your own words.
The temperature of 1.9 kg of water is 100.0°C, but the water is not boiling, because the external pressure acting on the water surface is 3.0 x 105 Pa. Using the vapor pressure curve for water given in the figure, determine the amount of heat that must be added to the water to bring it to the point where it just begins to boil. Pressure, Pa 4 x 105 3 x 105 2 x 105- 1.01 x 105 0.53 x 105 0 50 50 83 100 Temperature, C 100 °C 150 1.01 x 105 Pa 83 C 0.53 x 105 Pa
