The phospholipid head is hydrophilic which means it has an affinity for water. And it is true.

<h3>What is phospholipid , its component and how come it is hydrophilic?</h3>
  1. Phospholipid contains of a head and a tail , the head part of phospholipid consist of phosphate group and for further clarification the tail part of phospholipid consist of fatty acids.
  2. As we know already phosphate group that is OH- is negatively charged which clearly which its head is going to be polar .
  3. Since its polar , its hydrophilic. There is a specific function performed by phosphate group that cannot be filled by other compound present simultaneously.
  4. Phosphate group grabs a role to provide space to other compounds too.

Which type of bond is present in hydrogen sulfide (H2S)? The table of electronegativities is given
LuckyWell [14K]

Bonds formed between atoms can be classified as ionic and covalent

Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have a high difference in the electronegativity values.

In contrast, bonds formed between atoms that have a difference in electronegativity lower than the ionic counterparts are polar covalent bonds.  If the atoms have very similar electronegativities, they form non-polar covalent bonds.

In H2S, the S atom is bonded to 2 H atoms. The electronegativity of H = 2.2 and S= 2.56. Since the difference is not high the bond formed will be covalent (polar covalent).

Calculate the volume of a 0.5M solution containing 20g of NaOH
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

1L

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the number of mole present in 20g of NaOH. This is illustrated below:

Mass = 20g

Molar Mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Number of mole =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of NaOH = 20/40 = 0.5mol

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

Molarity = 0.5M

Mole = 0.5mole

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.5/0.5

Volume = 1L
