Sodium acetate and sodium propanoate are poor soaps because these soaps have a small hydrocarbon chain to bind to dirt. ... The hydrocarbon chain of these soaps is not long enough and therefore, there are fewer non-polar substances that are available for the molecules to bind to fats, oils, and dirt.

Why are sodium acetate and soduim propanoate poor ingredients for soaps?
Sodium propanoate and sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) are not good soaps because they do not have a long enough hydrocarbon portion with which to bond to the "dirt". This question hinges on the fact that most dirt is relatively nonpolar in nature. Using the "like dissolves like" principle, it is expected that a suitable solvent for dirt be relatively nonpolar as well. Good soaps are therefore made from those fatty acids which contain long (but not too long) hydrocarbon chains in addition to the ionic "head" portion (which allows solubility in H2O). If the hydrocarbon portion is not sufficiently long, the acid will be too polar to dissolve dirt. Hope this helps.
Why is acetate paper see through?
Cuz the japanese are so poor all they could use was paper even as walls in their buildings. So they use acetate paper for windows. Then shower curtains. Then clothes... Etc. Im not joking
What food group is a good source of potassium but a poor source of sodium?
bananas
Why does baking soda produce co2 when baked?
The chemical formula for baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) is NaHCO3 The chemical formula for vinegar (acetic acid) is C2H4O2, or CH3COOH, which is an acetate ion plus a Hydrogen atom. When vinegar is added to baking soda, the baking soda dissociates into CO2, plus OH-, plus Na+. The Na+ replaces an H+ on on the vinegar, to form Sodium acetate. The H+ from the vinegar joins the free OH- from the baking soda, to form water. The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) the bubbles through the water and sodium acetate solution.
How do you get a yiest infection?
Through a number of things :- poor immune system, tight inner wears, flavored condoms, perfumed soaps, unclean swimming pools etc
Implication of poor stock rotation?
Poor stock rotation is evident when items on the shelves are not sold before their "best by" dates. In a grocery store, new items should always be rotated to the back of the shelf. Even some soaps have a "best by" date.
Is sodium nitrate conductive?
Sodium nitrate is a salt compound that dissolves easily in water, so it can conduct electricity when it is in solution. However, solid sodium nitrate is a poor conductor of electricity because the ions are not free to move and carry a charge.
Why can't sodium be used in electric wires?
Sodium is highly reactive with water and air, leading to corrosion and potential fire hazards in electric wires. It is also a poor conductor of electricity compared to other metals like copper or aluminum. Overall, sodium is not a practical choice for use in electric wires due to its reactivity and poor conductivity.
Why does my blood pressure get dangerously high during exercise?
This could be due to poor diet. Try eating less foods high in sodium.
Why does Sodium methyl sulfate make poor detergents?
Sodium methyl sulfate makes poor detergents because it is not very effective at dissolving and removing oils and greases from surfaces due to its chemical structure. It lacks the hydrophobic portion needed to interact with oils and the hydrophilic portion to interact with water, making it inefficient for cleaning. Additionally, it may not produce enough lather or foam to trap and remove dirt effectively.
Is sodium chloride a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) or table salt is a poor conductor of heat and electricity in the solid phase, however, it is a very good conductor in the molten phase. This characteristic is shared by all ionic bonded molecular substances. Electricity can be defined as the flow of charge. Heat, to some extent, as the flow of energy. When a solid, sodium chloride, which consists of positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions, are stationary, fixed in a rigid crystal lattice structure. The charges cannot move, therefore electricity and heat will not be conducted well. When molten (melted) however, the rigid bonds of the crystal lattice are broken, allowing the positive and negative charges to move freely. In this state, when charges are caused to move by applying a potential difference, electricity is conducted, and so is heat.
What is 1 unit salt poor albumin?
One unit of salt-poor albumin typically refers to one gram of albumin solution that has been specifically formulated to have a low sodium content. This type of albumin is commonly used for patients who need fluid volume expansion without increasing their sodium load.
