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.

Answer:

She should suspect a Tornado.

Explanation:

Tornadoes form when warm humid air collides with cold dry air. The denser the cold air is pushed over warm air, causing an updraft. As soon as it reaches the ground a tornado is formed.

Use the balanced equation given below to solve the following problem; Calculate the volume in liters of CO produced by the react
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: 40.3 L

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

\text{Moles of} Sb_2O_3=\frac{175g}{291.5g/mol}=0.600moles

Sb_2O_3+3C\rightarrow 2Sb+3CO  

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of Sb_2O_3 produces = 3 moles of CO

Thus 0.600 moles of Sb_2O_3 will produce=\frac{3}{1}\times 0.600=1.80moles  of CO

Volume of CO=moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=1.80moles\times 22.4L/mol=40.3L

Thus 40.3 L of CO is produced.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

.✓is related to the solute content

✓gives information about potential changes in cell volume when cells are placed in that solution

√is related to membrane permeability to solutes.

Explanation:

Tonicity of a solution can be explained as how an extracellular solution can give room for the liquid to move in and out of the cell through osmosis.

It should be noted that Tonicity of a solution is

.✓is related to the solute content

✓gives information about potential

How many mL of a stock solution of 2.00 M KNO3 are needed to prepare 100.0 mL of 0.15M KNO3? with work plz
Tatiana [17]
Using the law of dilution :

Mi x Vi =  Mf x Vf

2.00 x Vi = 0.15 x 100.0

2.00 x Vi = 15

Vi = 15 / 2.00

Vi = 7.5 mL

hope this helps!
