Why are hydrophobic molecules such as fats and oils unable to dissolve in watery solutions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maru [420]3 years ago
6 0
Hydrophobic mplecules are unable to fissolve in watery solution becuse they dislike water.

Hydro= water
-phobic= fear

Hydrophobic= fear of water, or disliking water
*Think of it like this:
when you mix oil and water, do they mix, or does oil float at the top?

If your reply is "oil float to the top", then you're right. Oil and water DOES NOT mix together. Hope that help!

Heating up a reaction increases the speed of a reaction until the ____
Vesnalui [34]

Heating up a reaction increases the speed of a reaction until the enzyme denatures.

<h3>What is enzyme denaturation?</h3>

Enzyme denaturation occurs when a biological protein catalyst does not work anymore due to a high temperature that alters its tridimensional conformation.

This cellular process (denaturation) is well known to be one of the main causes of enzymatic failure.

In conclusion, heating up a reaction increases the speed of a reaction until the enzyme denatures.

The fuel used in many disposable lighters is liquid butane, C4H10. Butane has a molecular weight of 58.1 grams in one mole. How
Norma-Jean [14]
Matter is made of very tiny particles. One mole of a substance contains a given amount of particles. This number is constant for all particles- 6.022×10^23<span> , and is called Avogadro's constant. To get the number of particles in 4g of butane, we need to calculate the number of moles represented by 4 g, then multiply by the Avogadro's constant (Since each mole has particles equivalent to the Avogadro's constant) 
Therefore, if 1 mole = 58.1g
                how many moles will be equal to 4g?
                we cross multiply  (4x1) divide by 58.1
                equals 0.068847moles
multiply by Avogadro constant = 4.1466 x 10^molecules
But remember the question is not about the number of molecules in butane, its about the number of carbon atoms. 
Since there are four carbons in butane, and each has </span> 4.1466 x 10^22 atoms
to get the number of atoms, we multiply by four
equals 1.6586 x 10^atoms
