b. draw the chemical line structure of SDS.
c. The bond lengths in SDS are: C-H=1.01 A, C-C=1.54 A, C-O=1.43 A, O-S=1.49 A. Using the fact that the non hydrogen atoms have tetrahedral geometry, estimate the length of an SDS anion in angstroms and in nm.
d. in deionized water at 300K with [SDS]=20mM, the SDS anions form spherical micelles. assume that the radius of the micelle is 20A. Estimate the volume of the micelle in A cubed.
e. the molar mass of each methylene unit CH2 is approx. 14g/mol. Calculate the molar mass in g/mol of the SDS anion.
f. what is the mass of a single SDS anion in gramd?
