Answer:
The cis double bond present in unsaturated fatty acids acids results in lower melting point when compared to saturated fatty acids of the same chain length.
Explanation:
Melting point of a fatty acids are affected by the length and degree of unsaturation of the hydrocarbon chain.
At room temperature, saturated fatty acids with hydrocarbon chain lengths between 12-24 are waxy solids whereas unsaturated atty acids of the same chain length are liquids. This is due to the nature of the packing of the fatty acid molecules in the saturated and unsaturated compounds.
In the saturated compounds, the molecules are tightly packed side by side with minimal steric hindrance and maximal van der Waals forces of attraction between molecules. However, in unsaturated fatty acids, the cis double bond introduces a bend or kink in the molecules which then interferes with the tight packing of the molecules and reducing interaction between molecules. Therefore, less energy is required to cause a disorder in the arrangement of unsaturated fatty acids, leading to a lowering of melting point.
one mole of P weights about 31 grams
in one mole there are 6.022*10^23 atoms
we use the rule of threes
6.022*10^23atoms......weight..........31 grams
3.45*10^23 atoms.........weight...........x grams
x=(3.45*10^23*31)/6.022*10^23
x=106.95/6.022=<u><em>17.76 grams</em></u>

Explanation:
I have a hunch if its biotechnology involved with plants selective breeding seems most appropriate
most events like the rising and setting of the Sun were used a natural measurement of time until recently.
Solar time, which is based on the motion of the Sun, is not the only way of measuring time, however. One might keep track of the regular appearance of the full Moon. That event occurs once about every 29.5 solar days. The time between appearances of new moons, then, could be used to define a month.
One also can use the position of the stars for measuring time. The system is the same as that used for the Sun, since the Sun itself is a star. All other stars also rise and set on a regular basis.
Although any one of these systems is a satisfactory method for measuring some unit of time, such as a day or a month, the systems may conflict with each other. It is not possible, for example, to fit 365 solar days into 12 or 13 lunar months exactly. This problem creates the need for leap years
