g The most common position for an double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid is delta _________(fill in the number).

Chemistry

Stolb23 [73]4 years ago

Answer:

The most common position for an double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid is delta 9 (Δ⁹)

Explanation:

Unsaturated fatty acids are carboxylic acids which contains one or more double bonds. The chain length as well as the number of double bonds is written separated by a colon. The positions of the double bonds are specified starting from the carboxyl carbon, numbered as 1, by superscript numbers following a delta (Δ). For example, an 18-carbon fatty acid containing a  single double bond between carbon number 9 and 10 is written as 18:1(Δ⁹).

In most monounsaturated fatty acids, the double bond is between C-9 and C-10 (Δ⁹), and the other double bonds of polyunsaturated fatty acids are generally Δ¹² and Δ¹⁵. This positioning is due to the nature of the biosynthesis of fatty acids. In the mammalian hepatocytes, double bonds are introduced easily into fatty acids at the Δ⁹ position, but cannot introduce additional double bonds between C-10 and the methyl-terminal end. However, plants are able to introduce these additional double bonds at the  Δ¹² and Δ¹⁵ positions.

What makes a substance pure?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: When a substance is pure, it is composed of one type of molecule. For example, table salt is only composed of (more or less) salt molecules, while seawater has water and salt molecules. A more complicated example of a non - pure substance is soil. It has many different types of nutrients and compounds.

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does 1 H+ isotope contain
nlexa [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

H+ contains 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 0 electrons.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • Atoms are made of sub-atomic particles neutrons and protons found in the nucleus and electrons found in the energy levels.
  • A hydrogen atom contains 1 proton and 0 neutrons in the nucleus and 1 electron in the energy levels.
  • A hydrogen atom loses an electron to form an ion with 1 proton, 0 neutron and 0 electron.

When it comes to physical changes like phase changes, there are two types of heat energy: sensible heat and latent heat. Sensible heat is the heat absorbed/released when you heat the substance but it doesn't change phase. An example would be heating lukewarm water. The substance is liquid all throughout. Latent heat, on the other hand, is the heat absorbed/released when there is a phase change. An example would be boiling water, because it changes liquid to vapor. 

Hence, for freezing liquid, you use the latent heat, specifically the heat of fusion. The answer should be

2.5 g * (1 mol/18.02 g) * 6.03 kJ/mol = 0.84 kJ/mol

The answer is not in the choices. You only use Hvap if you boil water.

What elements are in NaC2HO4 and how many atoms are in each element​
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Each molecule contains one atom of A and one atom of B. The reaction does not use all of the atoms to form compounds.

                 A + B ⟶ Product

Particles: 6      8              6

If six A atoms form six product molecules, each molecule can contain only one A atom.

The formula of the product is ABₙ.

If n = 1, we need six atoms of B.

If n = 2, we need 12 atoms of B. However, we have only eight atoms of B, so the formula of the product must be AB.

Thus, 6A + 6B ⟶ 6AB, with two B atoms left over.

Explanation:

Credit goes to @znk

Hope it helps you :))
