Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 17QRT
Simple acids such as formic acid, HCOOH, and acetic acid, CH3COOH, are very soluble in water; however, fatty acids such as stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16COOH, and palmitic acid, CH3(CH2)14COOH, are water-insoluble. Based on what you know about the solubility of alcohols, explain the solubility of these organic acids.

An einstein is the amount of energy needed to dissociate 1 mole of a substance. If we have 0.58 moles, do we need 0.58 einsteins to dissociate that substance?
If the energy absorbed per mole of gas is 480 kJ mol-1, indicate the number of Einsteins per mole.Data: Energy of each photon: 0.7835x10-18 J.
If the energy absorbed per mole of gas is 480 kJ mol-1, indicate the number of Einsteins per mole.
