The question requires us to complete the sentences regarding characteristics and properties of lipids.

First, we need to keep in mind what are lipids: these essential molecules to cell's membranes are typically made of a glycerol backbone, fatty acid "tails" (the hydrofobic part) and and a phosphate group (a hydrophilic part). The term "lipids" is commonly used as a synonym for "fats", which it isn't completely wrong as they share many properties (for example, lipids don't mix with water).

As they are organic molecules, all lipids have carbon, oxygen and hydrogen in their structure, while some of them can contain other elements (such as phosphorus for the phospate group and nitrogen).

Considering the information above, we can complete the sentences as:

1. "Lipids is a general term describing organic molecules that are insoluble in water".

2. "All lipids are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, while some lipids contain other elements..."

Answer:

B) Iron (c=0.45 J/g°C)

Explanation:

Given that:-

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by metal

Thus,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_f-T_i)$

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_i-T_f)$

For water:

Mass = 120 g

Initial temperature = 21.8 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

For metal:

Mass = 40.2 g

Initial temperature = 99.3 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of metal = ?

So,

$120\times 4.184\times (24.5-21.8)=40.2\times C_{metal}\times (99.3-24.5)$

$40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=120\times \:2.7\times \:4.184$

$40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=1355.616$

$C_{metal}=0.45\ J/g^0C$

This value corresponds to iron. Thus answer is B.

An empty beaker weighs 25.91 g. When completely filled with water, the beaker and its contents have a total mass of 333.85 g. Wh

Finger [1]

Answer:

The beaker holds 307.94 mL

Explanation:

As we know that the volume that beaker hold is the volume of water that occupied by it.

For this first we have to find mass of the water in the beaker

This can be calculated by the subtraction of beaker's weight from the weight of beaker and water.

weight of water (m) = total weight - weight of beaker

Empty weight of beaker = 25.91 g

Weight of beaker with water = 333.85 g

Weight of water = 333.85 - 25.91 = 307.94 g

Density of water = 1 g/mL

We have

Mass = Volume x density

307.94 = Volume x 1

Volume = 307.94 mL

The beaker holds 307.94 mL
