This is the answer to chapter 3, problem number 15, from the smith organic chemistry textbook.
00:11
And so in this problem, we're asked to consider this detergent molecule and explain how this detergent molecule cleans dirt away.
00:23
And so, oops, okay, and so what we see is that this molecule has a pulse.
00:35
Head region.
00:37
So this is the polar head and then a non -polar tail region.
00:46
And so actually that would include the ring here.
00:49
So non -polar tail.
00:54
And so essentially what's going to happen, and i'll switch back to black, essentially what's going to happen is you have non -polar dirt or grease or grime, generally non -polar.
01:06
And so so, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
01:15
And so what happens is the non -polar tail regions surround this non -polar dirt and are attracted to it.
01:28
And the polar head regions are all facing outwards.
01:34
And so just bear with me for a moment.
01:37
I'm going to draw, i don't know, three of these, two, three, four...
