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.

Given that the density of water is 1.00 g/mL, the density of toluene is 0.867 g/mL, and the density of chloroform is 1.48 g/mL,
12345 [234]
Answer:
Top-Toluene
Middle-Water
Bottom-Chloroform

Explication:
Chloroform is on the bottom layer because it is the densest liquid.
Toluene is on the top because it is the least dense.
Water is between the two because it’s density is between chloroform and toluene.

When the surface water temperature is still well below the water boiling temperature, some bubbles at the bottom tend to float u
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The reasons why the seemingly floating bubbles disappear was that they tend to loss their latent heat to the water molecules at the surface water.

Explanation:

Heat energy has a considerable effect on the velocity of molecules including water. The water molecules below the container will receive much more heat energy than those above it. This heat energy in the form of specific heat capacity and latent heat that result in the increase in the speed of individual molecules of water and finally to the escape of the molecules to a colder region of the container, in this case the upper region. At the collision of the bottom water to the surface water, they tend to exchange their heat content, the hotter molecules will lose their heat to the cold ones. When the formerly hot molecules encounter this, it will result in lowering the temperature and consequentially to the reduction of their movement, once in the form of bubble, now become ordinary water. This convectional transfer of heat energy will continue until the whole system has a uniform temperature depending on the consistency of the heat source.
