This is because their tails are hydrophobic and their heads are hydrophilic. Hydrophobic meaning dislikes being near water and hydrophilic meaning likes to be near water. Therefore, they will orientate themselves in such a manner that the heads are facing externally and all the tails are facing together protected by the hydrophilic heads. google a photo of lipid chains in water if you are still confused. I'm not sure if that is what you are asking, but I hope it helps.

A sample of gas has a mass of 38.8 mg. Its volume is 224 mL at a temperature of 55 °C and a pressure of 886 torr. Find the molar
Pie

Answer:

4g/mol

Explanation:

Firstly, we can get the number of moles of the gas present using the ideal gas equation.

PV = nRT

Here:

P = 886 torr

V = 224ml = 224/1000 = 0.224L

T = 55 degrees celcius= 55+ 273.15 = 328.15K

R = molar gas constant = 62.36 L⋅Torr⋅K−1⋅mol−1

n = PV/RT

n = (886 * 0.224)/(62.36 * 328.15)

n = 0.009698469964 mole

Now to get the molar mass, this is mathematically equal to the mass divided by the number of moles. We have the mass and the number of moles, remaining only the molar mass.

First, we convert the mass to g and that is 38.8/1000 = 0.0388

The molar mass is thus 0.0388/0.009698469964 = 4g/mol

75 ml of lemon juice are added to 50 ml of water. What is the percent by volume
natita [175]

Answer:

60%

Explanation:

Solute = the fruit juice  = 75mL

Solution= solute + solvent = 75+50 = 125mL

% of solute = solute/ solution  × 100 %

= 75/125  × 100 %

= 3/5 × 100 %

= 3 × 20 %

= 60%

I hope this was helpful, please rate as brainliest
