I think the fatty acids that may be used to make a fat that is liquid at room temperature are One plamitic acid, one stearic acid, and one oleic acid.
Fatty acids are composed of linked chains of carbon atoms with an organic acid group at the end of the chain. Liquid fats or Oils are mainly obtained from plants or fish sources, and have high percentages of unsaturated fatty acids.

Answer:

A combination of oleic acid & palmitic acid.

Explanation:

Oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature because of the presence of double bond in them.

Between palmitic acid and stearic acid, we will choose palmitic acid because palmitic acid (16 carbon chain) has less number of carbon atoms as compared to stearic acid (18 carbon chain) that is why it is liquid at room temperature. The fatty acids which have more number of carbon atoms have more Tm (transition temperature) so they will require more temperature for changing phase from solid to liquid. So, it simply means they will be solid at room temperature that is why we will not choose stearic acid.

Tm ∝ No. of carbon atoms in the lipid ∝  hydrophobic interactions.

The chemical equation for the formation of ammonia is unbalanced.
galben [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2 molecules

Explanation:

Unbalanced chemical reaction

                   H₂(g)   +   N₂(g)   ⇒   NH₃ (g)

         Reactants         Elements          Products

                2                      H                       3

                2                      N                       1

Balanced chemical reaction

                   3H₂(g)   +   N₂(g)   ⇒   2NH₃ (g)

         Reactants         Elements          Products

                6                      H                       6

                2                      N                       2

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that when 3 molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of nitrogen, 2 molecules of ammonia will be formed.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

A gas is evolved

The ingredients can not be recovered

Explanation:

A chemical change is one in which a new substance is formed and it is not easily reversible.

One major ingredient used in cake baking is the baking powder or baking soda.

Baking a cake can be viewed as a chemical change. This is because, when the baking powder or soda is added in the presence of yeast, carbon dioxide gas is evolved as tiny bubbles of gas which makes the cake light and fluffy. Heat is equally given off in the process. The baking powder and other cake ingredients can not be recovered, hence, we can conclusively assert that a chemical change has taken place.
