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..."

How many hydrogen atoms are in 5.20 mol of ammonium sulfide?

Fofino [41]

1) Molecular formula of ammonium sulfide

(NH4)2 S

2) That means that there are 2*4 = 8 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule of ammoium sulfide, so in 5.20 mol of molecules will be 8 * 5.20 mol = 41.6 moles of atoms of hydrogen

3) To pass to number of atoms multiply by Avogadro's number: 6.022 * 10^23

41.6 moles * 6.022 * 10^23 atoms / mol = 250.5 * 10^23 = 2.50 * 10^25 atoms

Answer: 2.50 * 10^25

128.3 grams of methane (CH4) is equal to how many moles of methane

Neko [114]

About 8.0 moles of methane.Number of moles = MassMolar mass.

And thus we get the quotient:

128.3⋅g16.04⋅g⋅mol−1=8.0⋅moles of methane.

Note that the expression is dimensionally consistent, we wanted an answer in moles, and the quotients gives, 1mol−1=11mol=mol as required.

If 4.0 mol of NO and 4.0 mol of O2 are combined, how many moles

Masja [62]

4.0

i think it has something to do with molar ratios and finding the limiting reactant

4.0 mol NO * 2 mol NO2/2 mol NO = 4.0 moles of NO2

4.0 mol O2 * 2 mol NO2/1 mol O2 = 8.0 moles of NO2

so the limiting reactant (the reactant that runs out the quickest leaving an excess) is NO

once the limiting reactant is found, we can use that data for that substance to calculate the amount of product

4.0 mol NO * 2 mol NO2/2 mole NO = 4.0 moles of NO2
