Answer:
            <span>Based on giveninformation, the compound is a <u>Poly Unsaturated</u> fatty acid.

Explanation:
                   Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with -COOH functional group and a chain of hydrocarbons.

Fatty Acids are classified as,

i) Saturated Fatty Acids:
                                      Those Fatty Acids in which there is no double bond between the carbon chain are called as saturated fatty acids. 

Examples:
                 Lauric Acid           </span>CH₃(CH₂)₁₀COOH<span>

                 Myristic Acid         </span>CH₃(CH₂)₁₂COOH<span>

                 Palmitic Acid         </span>CH₃(CH₂)₁₄COOH

ii) Unsaturated Fatty Acids:
                                      Those Fatty Acids in which contain a single double bond (mono-unsaturated) or more than one double bond (poly-unsaturated) d between the carbon atoms in a chain are called as unsaturated fatty acids. 

Examples:
                 <span>Linoleic acid
</span>
                 <span>Vaccenic acid

                 </span><span>Palmitoleic acid

The saturated fatty acid containing 26 carbon atoms is called as Cerotic acid. While cerotic acid containing a double bond at position 3 and 9 has a IUPAC name H</span>exacosa-3,9-dienoic acid with following structure.

How many molecules of CBr4 are in 250 grams of CBr4
Kazeer [188]

Answer:- 4.54*10^2^3 molecules.

Solution:- The grams of tetrabromomethane are given and it asks to calculate the number of molecules.

It is a two step unit conversion problem. In the first step, grams are converted to moles on dividing the grams by molar mass.

In second step, the moles are converted to molecules on multiplying by Avogadro number.

Molar mass of CBr_4  = 12+4(79.9)  = 331.6 g per mol

let's make the set up using dimensional analysis:

250g(\frac{1mol}{331.6g})(\frac{6.022*10^2^3molecules}{1mol})

= 4.54*10^2^3 molecules

So, there will be 4.54*10^2^3 molecules in 250 grams of CBr_4 .

Solutions with low pH values have which of these properties?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Solutions with low pH values have sour taste.

Explanation:

Low pH value show acidic property which can be define as , -log of conc. of hydrogen ion.

Acid has following properties

  • Sour taste
  • Turn blue litmus into red
  • corrosive

-OH group: Base have OH groups. So it is not correct option so it not correct for low pH i.e. acid

turns litmus paper blue: Base turn red litmus into blue, so it not correct for low pH i.e. acid

feels slippery: Bases are mostly slippery like soap

tastes sour: Sour taste is for acid and bitter taste is for base. So it is correct option for acid
