Is clove oil an acid?
Clove oil is a mixture of compounds, but the main ingredient is eugenol, about 70-90%. Eugenol does have an acidic hydrogen, but it's not a compound i would call an acid, the acidic hydrogen is only a small part of the entire molecule. it's pKa, measure of acidity, is about 10, so it's a very weak acid indeed.
What is hydrophobic compound?
Oil is one of the best examples of substance that is hydrophobic which canÕt mix or dissolve with water. It is highly hydrophobic because the interaction in oil is more compact than other compounds.
When oil leaks into the ocean why does the oil float to the surface?
Oil and water don't "mix" together in the normal sense, and oil is less dense than sea water. That makes the oil float because the water, which is more dense, pushes it (the oil) to the surface.Archimedes' Principle- a body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Therefor if one were to weigh a given amount of oil and the same amount of water, water would weigh more. Three stages of buoyancy are positive(floats) negitive(sinks) neutral(doesn't float or sink).
How much is 1 deciliter of oil?
A deciliter of oil is a tenth of a liter of oil, or 0.1 liters of oil.
When adding soap why does it help remove dirt and oil?
Firstly, it is important to know the chemical structure of soap. Soap is made of a long hydrocarbon tail (R), which is hydrophobic (water fearing) and a polar, hydrophilic head, made of a COO- group connected to some cation (usually Na+). Now, for example, imagine a surface covered in oil placed in water. The oil will remain on the surface and not mix with the water. If a soap is added the hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain is attracted to the non-polar oil and bonds via dispersion forces, while the positive COO- head is attracted to the water, thus you have the tails in the oil and the heads in the water. Now, if the water is agitated the hydrophilic heads will want to move with the water, as the head of the molecule moves, so to does the tail, thus the tail moves into the water, still connected to the oil, removing the oil. A diagram such as this will help in understanding: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Soapfunction1.jpg
Is canola oil is acidic alkaline or neutral?
acidic
Is oil acidic neutral or alkaline?
Oil is typically neutral, meaning it has a pH around 7. However, some oils can be slightly acidic or alkaline depending on factors such as their composition and how they are processed.
Is hair oil acidic neutral or alkaline?
Hair oil is typically neutral in pH, meaning it is neither acidic nor alkaline. The pH level of hair oil is generally close to that of the skin and hair to prevent causing any irritation or imbalance.
Is popcorn acidic or alkaline?
is popcorn, poped in coconut oil, acid or alkaline
What is the PH level of mustard oil?
The pH level of mustard oil is typically around 6.25, making it slightly acidic.
What is the pH of mustard oil?
The freezing point of Mustard oil is -5°C.
Is oil acidic?
of corse when the out of the earth it have oil leak = acid form rain
Is paint acid or alkali?
Paint can be either acidic, neutral, or alkaline, depending on its composition. Oil-based paints are usually slightly acidic, while latex or water-based paints are typically neutral or slightly alkaline. It is important to check the product label or Material Safety Data Sheet to determine the specific pH level of a particular paint.
Is vicks vapor rub acidic or alkaline?
Vicks Vapor Rub is neither acidic nor alkaline. It is an ointment made up of a combination of ingredients, including camphor, eucalyptus oil, and menthol, that work together to provide relief for cough and congestion.
Is paraffin an acid or an alkaline?
Paraffin is neither an acid nor an alkaline. It is a type of hydrocarbon wax typically derived from petroleum or shale oil and is chemically neutral.
How much acid does soap and water have?
Soap and water do not typically contain acid unless specifically formulated as acidic soap for certain cleaning purposes. Regular soap is neutral or slightly alkaline to effectively clean and remove dirt and oil from the skin or surfaces.
What are some neutral substances you use?
Water may be a neutral or if possible you can make your own. All it takes is some neutralisation. Just add an acid such as vinegar and add a base within it such as bicarbonate then the liquid you have is possibly a neutral. But to be sure you could use a pH indicator to identify if it is an acid,neutral or base (alkaline).Red,orange and yellow for acid,green or lime for neutral and blue, purple or violet for base (alkaline).
