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.

klio [65]
The atomic mass or relative isotopic mass refers to the mass of a single particle, and therefore is tied to a certain specific isotope of an element. The dimensionless standard atomic weight instead refers to the AVERAGE of atomic mass values of a typical naturally-occurring mixture of isotopes for a sample of an element.
You can count it by yourself using formula

m = ({first isotopic distribution%}× {first atomic.mass})+ ({second isotopic distribution%}× {second atomic.mass}) / {100}

What volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed to prepare eight 3 ounce bottles of 10% tca solution?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .

Explanation:

Let the volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid solution be x

Volume of required 10% trichloroacetic acid solution =8 bottles of 3 ounces

= 24 ounces = 709.68 mL

(1 ounces =  29.57 mL)

Amount of trichloroacetic acid in 24% solution of x volume of solution will be equal to amount of trichloroacetic acid in 10% solution of volume 709.68 mL.

x\times \frac{24}{100}=709.68 mL\times \frac{10}{100}

x = 295.7 mL

295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .

The largest risks while designing a model to withstand a village include that the model does not mitigate the effects of the tsunami or only mitigates the effects partially, which would cause damages to the homes.

Designing a model to withstand the effect of any natural phenomenon such as an earthquake, fire or tsunami is not an easy task and will require the following cycle:

  • Designing the model.
  • Testing the model.
  • Making changes or designing a new model.

In the case of a model for tsunamis, it is likely the following problems occur:

  • The model does not protect the houses from tsunamis.
  • The model does not protect the houses completely.

This would lead to negative effects such as:

  • Damages in the houses.
  • Dead or injured people.
  • Destruction of infrastrcture.

Note: This question is incomplete because the context is missing; here is the missing part.

Protecting Your Model Village from Tsunamis this task, you will design a model village to withstand the effects of a tsunami.

Which of the following are oxidation half-reactions?
Olin [163]
The answer is the third choice because is oxidation half reactions, only the oxidation state of the reducing agent changes; in this third choice, Fe2+ is oxidized and becomes Fe3+. Just keep in mind that half reactions usually include the change in electrons:

Fe2+ -> Fe3+ +e-<span />
