Why does oil miscible in solution of surf and water?
Presumably you mean surfactant and water? A classic surfactant molecule has a polar, hydrophilic end and a non-polar hydrocarbon liophilic end. With enough of a suitable surfactant, oil droplets will form with the liophilic part of surfactant molecules dissolved in the droplets and water molecules attached to the hydrophilic part of the surfactant. The oil disperses in the water.
When do fetuses begin to produce surfactant?
Fetuses begin to produce surfactant between weeks 24 and 28.
Is a surfactant a heterogeneous mixture?
dff
Is a surfactant an emulsifying agent?
Yes
What is the head of a surfactant molecule?
Hydrophilic
How do surfactants increase the wettability of powders?
Surfactants increase the wettability of powders by breaking down the surface tensions in water droplets. This allows the water to seep into the powder and get it wetter.
What is Reservoir wettability?
Determine wettability
What ingredient makes washing powders work?
anionic sfurface active agent that is surfactant is the manily washing ingredient.its normally works on non fatty dirt.
What do surfactant do?
A surface-active agent 'surfactant' usually cleans something. ie -soap is a surfactant.
Surfactant that cover the respiratory membranes?
Surfactant is pleural fluid.
What is the interfacial properties of surfactant solution?
What is the interfacial properties of surfactant solution?
What do Type 2 alveolar cells secrete?
secrete surfactant
What does a surfactant do?
The main function or job of a surfactant is to reduce surface tension. This process is used on liquids while it dissolves.
Who is responsible for wettability of a surface by a liquid?
I can't help myself: "The person who spilled the Liquid"! ;-)
How effective is surfactant therapy?
Normally surfactant replacement therapy keeps the infant alive until the lungs start producing their own surfactant.
Which surfactant lacks in a new born baby?
I have never heard the surfactant called anything specific. Full term babies usually have surfactant (a mixture of lipids (fats) and proteins). Premature babies many times do not have enough surfactant to keep the alveoli of their lungs open, so artificial surfactant is put into the trachea, sometimes more than once.
