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 gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by?
AURORKA [14]

A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by ventilation.

The two following principles determine the type of ventilation: Considering the impact of the contaminant's vapour density and either positive or negative pressure is applied.

Consider a vertical tank that is filled with methane gas. Methane would leak out if we opened the top hatch since its vapour density is far lower than that of air. A second opening could be built at the bottom to greatly increase the process' efficiency.

A faster atmospheric turnover would follow from air being pulled in via the bottom while the methane was vented out the top. The rate of natural ventilation will increase with the difference in vapour density. Numerous gases that require ventilation are either present in fairly low concentrations or have vapor densities close to one.

How can i toast a marshmallow using convection ?
Elina [12.6K]
Convection is where the heat source heats the air, and the air transfers the heat to object. Some people prefer to heat their marshmallow through convection, this is achieved by holding the marshmallow high above the flames where the heated air is rising, transforing the heat into the marshmallow.
