Electrophoretic Mobility of Hydrophobic/Charged Particles in Saline Solutions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on how hydrophobicity, surface charge, and the addition of salts like NaCl, NaNO3, and NaSCN affect the electrophoretic mobility of a substance dispersed in water. The presence of salts leads to a more compact structure, with hydrophobic regions internalized and hydrophilic regions exposed, which enhances mobility. The order of salt effectiveness is influenced by their ionic strength and specific interactions with the charged surface. Hydrophilic substances with negative charges tend to be more stable in saline environments compared to hydrophobic ones, which can aggregate. Overall, the type of salt and the nature of the substance's charge significantly impact its stability and interaction dynamics.

suppose we have a substance that is hydrophobic/hydrophilic and also has some charge on it surface(negative or positive) disspersed in water. if we add some salt different kinds possible(NaCl NaNO3 NaSCN). What is the effect of hydrophobicity and surface charge on Electrophoretic mobility?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org


Salts will cause the substance to adopt a more compact structure with the hydrophobic bits internalized and the hydrophilic bits exposed. It should move faster/farther.

but i want a explanation for the order of salts, which one acts more strongly?, and what is the difference between hydrophilic/hydrophobic dispersed substance with negetive/positive charge on its surface regarding their stability,how they interact with diffrent salts.
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
