Answer : The mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.
Solution : Given,
Moles of nitric acid = 3.4 moles
Molar mass of nitric acid = 63.01 g/mole
Formula used :
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of nitric acid.
Therefore, the mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.
The answer is <em>a. "The melting point of the fatty acid decreases as the number of double bonds increases" </em>because when there are double bonded carbons it cancels the polarity of the carboxyl in the opposite direction, increasing that effect as double bonded carbons add to the molecule, giving the net dipole moment to the molecule. As the net dipole moment of the molecule decrease, the melting point of the fatty acid also decreases.
In addition, when the fatty acid is major than 8 carbons and have a double bond that prevents the fatty acid from crystal lattice formation, so the melting point will be lower also for this reason in this case.
