<h3>Answer:</h3>

            A Phospholipid is formed.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                   The reaction of fatty acids, glycerol and phosphoric acid is given below. In this reaction the carboxylic groups of fatty acids and the hydrogyl groups of glycerol undergo an Esterification Reaction with the elimination of two water molecules and formation of Ester functional group. Also, the third hydroxyl group of glycerol undergo dehydration reaction with phosphoric acid. The resulting molecule is known as phospholipid.

                    Biologically, Phospholipids are found in the cell membranes. The long hydrocarbon chains of fatty acids acts as hydrophobic (water fearing) tails and the phosphate group acts as hydrophilic (water loving) head. They form a barrier protecting the internal environment of cell from external surrounding.

How many moles are in 1.05 g of gold (Au)?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.005 mol

Explanation:

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

w = given mass of Gold = 1.05 g ,

m = molecular mass of Gold = 197 g/mol

<u>Hence , moles can be calculated as -</u>

n = w / m = 1.05 g / 197 g/mol = 0.005 mol

Maslowich

Answer:

Solids

Explanation:

At standard room temperature and pressure, most of the elements are solids.

Just a few of the elements are liquids and gases at this temperature.

The periodic table is made up of metals, metalloids and non-metals. Most of these substances are actually solid.

Some non-metals are gaseous at standard room temperature.
