Answer:
The cis double bond present in unsaturated fatty acids acids results in lower melting point when compared to saturated fatty acids of the same chain length.
Explanation:
Melting point of a fatty acids are affected by the length and degree of unsaturation of the hydrocarbon chain.
At room temperature, saturated fatty acids with hydrocarbon chain lengths between 12-24 are waxy solids whereas unsaturated atty acids of the same chain length are liquids. This is due to the nature of the packing of the fatty acid molecules in the saturated and unsaturated compounds.
In the saturated compounds, the molecules are tightly packed side by side with minimal steric hindrance and maximal van der Waals forces of attraction between molecules. However, in unsaturated fatty acids, the cis double bond introduces a bend or kink in the molecules which then interferes with the tight packing of the molecules and reducing interaction between molecules. Therefore, less energy is required to cause a disorder in the arrangement of unsaturated fatty acids, leading to a lowering of melting point.
Answer:
Functional groups.
Explanation:
Functional groups are the specific substituents present within the molecules which are responsible for characteristic chemical properties the molecule shows.
Glucose contains alcohol and aldehyde group while hexanoic acid contains carboxylic acid group. <u>The presence different types of the functional groups in both the compounds results in the difference in the properties of both the compounds.</u>
Answer:
5,250g
Explanation:
Density = Mass / Volume
*Note: mass = x
1.50g/mL = x / 3500mL
multiply 3500mL on both sides
1.50g/mL * 3500mL = 3500mL(x) / 3500mL
cancel units
x = 5250g
