Compare the solubility of a fatty acid and a fatty acid salt in water. Compare the solubility of a fatty acid and a fatty acid s

alt in water. The salt is more soluble in water since it can form stronger ion-dipole interactions not available to the fatty acid. The fatty acid is more soluble in water since it can form stronger hydrogen bonding interactions not available to the fatty acid salt. The salt is more soluble in water since it can form stronger hydrogen bonding interactions not available to the fatty acid. The fatty acid is more soluble in water since it can form stronger ion-dipole interactions not available to the fatty acid salt.

Answer:

The correct option is A. The salt is more soluble in water since it can form stronger ion-dipole interactions not available to the fatty acid.

Explanation:

An ion-dipole interaction occurs when an ionic compound is placed in a polar solvent. As salts are ionic compounds and water is a polar solvent, so the fatty acid salts will be able to form electrostatic ion-dipole interactions with the polar water molecules. These interactions will cause fatty acid salts to dissolve in water.

The fatty acid is not an ionic compound and will not form the ion-dipole interactions with the water molecules. Hence, fatty acids will be less soluble in water.

Seawater becomes warmer it expands. Heat in the upper layer of the ocean is released quickly into the atmosphere. However, heat absorbed by the deeper layers of the ocean will take much longer to be released and therefore, be stored in the ocean much longer and have significant impacts on future ocean warming.

Missing question: What is the rate constant for the reaction?
<span>[RS2](mol L-1) Rate (mol/(L·s))
0.150                0.0394
0.250                0.109
0.350                0.214
0.500                0.438</span>
Chemical reaction: 3RS₂ → 3R + 6S.
Compare second and fourth experiment, when concentration is doubled, rate of concentration is increaced by four. So rate is:
rate = k·[RS₂]².
k = 0,438 ÷ (0,500)².
k = 1,75 L/mol·s.
