What else can I help you with?
Is water considered a surfactant?
No, water is not considered a surfactant. Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension between two substances, while water is a polar molecule that acts as a solvent.
The lipophilic tail of a surfactant molecule is considered to be?
The lipophilic tail of a surfactant molecule is considered to be hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and is attracted to nonpolar substances such as oil or grease. This allows the surfactant to interact with both water and oil, helping to emulsify them and form stable mixtures.
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.
What is the head of a surfactant molecule?
The head of a surfactant molecule is typically hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water. This hydrophilic head allows surfactants to dissolve in water and interact with other molecules.
What describes the role of surfactant in the respiratory system?
Surfactant helps reduce surface tension within the alveoli, thus preventing each alveolus from callapsing as air moves in and out during respiration.
What are solid shampoos?
Basically it is detergent (surfactant/soap) but without water or with very little water.
Is a surfactant a heterogeneous mixture?
No, a surfactant is a type of molecule that can lower the surface tension between two substances and is typically a homogeneous mixture when dissolved in water.
Suspensions can be wetted before adding water by using a wetting agent or a?
surfactant
What do surfactant do?
A surface-active agent 'surfactant' usually cleans something. ie -soap is a surfactant.
How is the solubility of Tween 20 in water?
Tween 20 is a surfactant that is soluble in water. It is a nonionic surfactant composed of a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol chain and a lipophilic sorbitan monolaurate chain, making it soluble in both water and oil.
Can you emulsifier instead of surfactant?
Emulsion two types.1.Oil in water 2.water in oil.-- both will increases their viscosity. surfactant meant : De-emulsification which is quite opposite to emulsifier agent.surfactant decrease viscosity.
What is the role of Zimbabwean government in industrial relations?
