Below are the three possible isomers of chemical formula C₂H₂Cl₂. Among these three isomers the trans-1,2-dichloroethene is non-polar while, remaining two are polar.

Reason:
Reason for this is dipole moment. In case of cis-1,2-dichloroethene and 1,1-dichloroethene, the vectors are reinforcing each other perpendicularly to double bond, hence, giving a net dipole moment and making these two isomers polar in nature.
While, in case of trans isomer the two vectors are cancelling each other as the two chlorine atoms are in opposite directions. Hence, the net dipole moment is zero in this case. So, it is non-polar in nature.

This is a benefit I’m not sure if a negative

This strong current of warm water influences the climate of the east coast of Florida, keeping temperatures there warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer than the other southeastern states. Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well.

For each example, identify if the food contains mostly saturated or unsaturated fatty acids.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

1. Vegetable oil, which is a liquid at room temperature, is used in making cake batter. Unsaturated

2. Chocolate, which is solid at room temperature, is derived from a seed. Saturated

3. Butter, which is a solid at room temperature, is often used in cooking. Saturated

4. The oil inside flaxseed oil pills is liquid at room temperature. Unsaturated

Explanation:

Saturated fats are those kinds of fat that do not have a double bond between their carbon atoms when represented structurally. At room temperature, they tend to assume the solid-state, and they are mostly obtained from animal sources. Unsaturated fats do have a minimum of one double bond between their carbon atoms and tend to assume the liquid phase. They are mostly obtained from plant sources.

1. Vegetable oil is obtained from a plant source and is, therefore, unsaturated fat.

2. Chocolate even though it comes from cocoa is solid at room temperature and is mostly comprised of saturated fat.

3. Butter a solid at room temperature is mostly made up of saturated fat and is sourced from animals.

4. Flaxseed oil obtained from a plant source is mostly unsaturated fat.
