Commercial soaps are mixtures of ionic compounds typically made up of monatomic cations, such as Na and K , and organic polyatomic anions derived from fatty acids. These negatively charged molecular ions are characterized by the presence of hydrocarbon chains which are 12 to 18 carbon atoms long. How hard (solid, insoluble) or soft (liquid, soluble) a soap is depends on the nature of the anions and cations present in the system. Analyze how each of the following factors may affect the hardness or softness of soaps: 1. The nature of the cations. For example, Na* vs Li* vs K.
2. The length of the hydrocarbon chain. For example, 12 carbons (laureate lon), 14 carbons (myristate lon), or 18 carbons (stearate lon).

Someone offer some answers to this, i will give 98 coins and mark as brainliest! i will put the rest of the lab down in the comments, solutions pre-lab questions: in this lab, you will make fruit drinks with powdered drink mix. complete the pre-lab questions to get the values you need for your drink solutions. calculate the molar mass of powered fruit drink mix, made from sucrose (c12h22o11).using stoichiometry, determine the mass of powdered drink mix needed to make a 1.0 m solution of 100 ml. (hint: use molarity = to find the moles of drink mix, then convert moles to grams using a mole conversion.)what mass of powdered drink mix is needed to make a 0.5 m solution of 100 ml?
